PIRatE Lab's insight:
I am posting this article because it is getting such attention, but the "science" behind these claims of the danger of wave action pushing coronavirus into lung-infecting coastal air is dubious at best. To make such strong assertions when we are talking about back of the envelope estimates is unwarranted and likely ill-advised.
