Kennel Cough Is Ventilation
The claim
Kennel cough spread is set by the ratio of ventilation to occupancy rather than by animal density alone.
01The mechanism
Same density with more air changes reduces the rebreathed fraction; density sets the source, ventilation sets the exposure.
02Predictions
- P1Spread should track the ratio.
- P2Density alone should mispredict.
03Refutation
Spread tracking density would remove the ventilation term.
