When the CDC updated its website on Friday to acknowledge that airborne transmission of the coronavirus beyond six feet may play a role in the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly indoors, the update was hailed by infectious disease experts interviewed by ABC News as an overdue step.
But on Monday morning, the agency took down that language, saying it was posted in "error." Despite the CDC guidance whiplash, experts say it's time to recognize that airborne transmission beyond six feet is possible -- while continuing to emphasize that close contact within six feet is still the main way the virus is transmitted.
Scientists maintain that close, person-to-person contact is a main driver of the virus' spread. This transmission is primarily via respiratory droplets or small particles produced when an infected person coughs, sneezes, sings, talks or breathes in close proximity to someone else.
After CDC whiplash, here's what science says about airborne transmission of the coronavirus

Funny how as soon as the CDC is required to run all their data through the White House before release the data starts matching what the White House wanted it to be.
I’m sure that’s all normal and above board though.
Nothing to worry about.

Got a source for that?
I gotta hat-tip the CDC for their high-quality gaslighting, though!
