[QUOTE="NotMyRealName, post: 2275381"] Have a like, you really need it... That's because people just read the headline without understanding the issue completely. And even the media is to blame, when they print things like "coronavirus is now AIRBORNE" without any relevant details. I don't know everything there is to know about the virus and even if i did couldn't possibly list out on a forum, but when one says airborne, there's a few things to consider. What's the source (i.e. is it exhaled by a person or coolly, freely flying around like a housefly), how far does it spread from that source, and how long is the viral particle viable. As a doctor on the other popular indian forum said, every respiratory virus is airborne isn't it? Only that the new data is showing that instead of earlier, with the droplet-only theory, it had a very rapid path from nasal orifice to a lower surface by gravity, to a distance of about 6 feet, but now they think it could be suspended in the air itself for a longer time and a little longer distance. So airborne doesn't mean you will catch it if you go stand on your balcony alone breathing in the fresh air. Well, maybe if someone in the flat right about you sneezed a huge load!
