Milton, a professor of environmental health at the University of Maryland who studies how viruses are transmitted, has helped lead a group of 239 scientists who wrote an open letter to appeal for better recognition of the potential airborne transmission of coronavirus.
They dont want to talk about airborne transmission because that is going to make people afraid, he said. Theres also an element of worry that if people think the virus is airborne, theyll stop doing other things they need to do to prevent transmission, such as washing hands, staying apart and cleaning surfaces.
There is significant potential for inhalation exposure to viruses in microscopic respiratory droplets (microdroplets) at short to medium distances (up to several meters, or room scale), and we are advocating for the use of preventive measures to mitigate this route of airborne transmission, Milton and his colleagues wrote.
Studies by the signatories and other scientists have demonstrated beyond any reasonable doubt that viruses are released during exhalation, talking, and coughing in microdroplets small enough to remain aloft in air and pose a risk of exposure at distances beyond 1 to 2 meters (yards) from an infected individual, they added.

This would mean more burdensome solutions and prolonged closures. -Tom
And they will approve of more riots since those magically don’t spread it.
Ban air.
I have to laugh at the people that move their head back as they walk past you ,LOL
So, it’s the flu.
This virus seems very talented and able to do just about anything
I should catch one and train it to make my bed and a cup of coffee every morning
Would someone in CHARGE please stand up and put a stop to the BullSchiff?
Maybe could go along with parts of it BUT when mayors/governors/Police Depts etc see NOTHING wrong with a thug having a ‘heros funeral’ while Joe Six Pack can’t have a service, thousands of people blocking buildings, taking over parts of cities, blocking highways etc etc but - in unison - stand up and BAN open air fireworks displays.
If one thinks things are ‘bad’ now, I just read where people are lining up in VIRGINIA to get their names put on ‘NEVER LET ME BUY A GUN LIST’.
We certainly are on the fast track to Hades.......which can’t be a ‘bad’ thing
Why is there a Gate to enter Heaven and a HIGHWAY to Hell?
Instead of listening to Soros funded arms of the deep state, I prefer to hear what immunologists say about Covid-19 policies (hint: their appalled at masks and quaratine for health people, they say delays in treatment for other illnesses are resulting in more harm than Covid-19 in their county)
Immunologists Dr. Dan Erickson and Dr. Artin Massihi on Covid-19
Since Twitter deleted their initial press conference, this is a follow up video. This time, I am posting the auto generated transcript, which has errors because computers don't understand spoken English sometimes. Also, the transcript lacks punctuation

If Covid is airborne it means that masks do nothing, lock downs do nothing, and social distancing does nothing.
bkmk
Where can I buy enough of them to power my anti-gravity boots?
Rofl!!!!
I am out and about but I had 10 minutes to come on here and I’m so glad I did. And that’s one of the funniest things I’ve seen on the board in a while :-)
No shit Sherlock. We’ve know this ever since the coughing cloud simulation in grocery stores. They showed how it floated above and among the aisles. I think that was in March.
Breaking News: Coronavirus is fatal!
But they can’t travel more than 6 feet and die if the 7th person in the group leaves. And can’t go around plexiglass!
Do I need the /sarc tag?
Wow!
Is that real?
WTF didn’t know a VIRUS FLOATED IN THE AIR??? omg....they want to close us down again just to get TRUMP!
Lol, “we’ve known,” “they showed,” “it floats above and among the aisles...” Give me a break. The CIA’s TWA 800 video was more legit.
We have all kinds of enemies that want to keep this country hobbled and disorganized .
I hope we are reaching the "enough is enough" stage.-Tom
