这是我们应该听到的关于一场重要斗争的叙述：在2019冠状病毒病大流行之初，一大群专家聚集在一起，就空气传播的风险以及忽视这一风险的后果向世界发出警告。我们就SARS-CoV-2在空气中传播的潜在重要性和控制它的迫切需要向世界卫生组织发出了警告，但我们的担忧被驳回了。在这里，我们描述了这是如何发生的以及后果。我们希望通过报道这个故事，我们可以提高人们对跨学科合作重要性的认识，以及对新证据持开放态度的必要性，并防止这种情况再次发生。承认一个问题并出现与之相关的新证据，是寻求有效缓解办法的第一个必要步骤。2020年4月，36名专家向世卫组织发出了SARS-CoV-2空中传播的重要性警告。世卫组织驳回了这一建议，直到该建议于2020年7月发表在一份国际期刊上。这种延误的后果在整个大流行期间都存在。
This is an account that should be heard of an important struggle: the struggle of a large group of experts who came together at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic to warn the world about the risk of airborne transmission and the consequences of ignoring it. We alerted the World Health Organization about the potential significance of the airborne transmission of SARS-CoV-2 and the urgent need to control it, but our concerns were dismissed. Here we describe how this happened and the consequences. We hope that by reporting this story we can raise awareness of the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration and the need to be open to new evidence, and to prevent it from happening again. Acknowledgement of an issue, and the emergence of new evidence related to it, is the first necessary step towards finding effective mitigation solutions. In April 2020, 36 experts alerted the WHO about the importance of airborne transmission of SARS-CoV-2. WHO dismissed this advice until it was published in an international journal in July 2020. This delay has consequences extending throughout the pandemic.
