Mereness et al.’s comments on our paper [1] stem from an inadequate understanding of phenomenological infection modeling and stochastic methods. Further, they misinterpret our paper and other scientific literature. We address their main claims, which relate to (i) our mention of superspreading events on flights, (ii) validation, (iii) correlation of distance with infection risk, and (iv) airflow patterns in planes.
