In the last two days I have seen IS studies showing longevity of the virus in aerosol form for up to 3 hours. This implies particle size of <3 microns from what I can find. Please correct me if I’m wrong.

Another poster in this series of threads have a great analogy of aerosols that I like to use for visualization:

In your home, someone peels an orange in another room. If you can smell it, and that was the virus instead of an orange, you just got infected.

Accepting data for aerosolization might explain a great deal of the newfound urgency.

Yes, this goes along with what I’ve been saying all night.

It also explains President Trump’s plea that we all just stay home for 15 days!
