37. Tularemia is not spread into air filtration systems by fomites.

The idea that somebody just casually encountered F. tularensis while going about their daily business and then carried it into DC where it magically leapt off their clothes and into air filters is, frankly, laughable.

But I will refrain from laughing because you probably don't have any formal education in disease transmission, and you are a fellow DUer, and this is not funny.
