Coronavirus can travel twice as far as official ‘safe distance’ and stay in air for 30 minutes, Chinese study finds
Authorities advise people to stay 1-2 metres apart, but researchers found that a bus passenger infected fellow travellers sitting 4.5 metres away
The scientists behind the research said their investigation also highlighted the importance of wearing face masks because of the length of time it can linger

Probably with the help of the UN and others.

Not sayin' I believe it's a conspiracy. Just remember these deaths in the news, back then.
Yeah right. Good luck listening to the chicoms.
Yep
Wow. Thanks.
Yeah.. Their bioweapon to take out Baby-boomer Trump supporters.
The cashier at Tractor Supply sneezed and then asked me if I wanted the receipt in the bag. Yep, I sure do THIS time.
I did hear that allergies were going to be particularly bad here (Michigan) this year, though. Warm weather brings out the sneezes big time even in March
Wouldn’t be the first time the dems collaborated with enemies of America.
Makes sense, that’s where all the world’s top virologists hang out. And they’ve said it’s nothing to worry about. So there’s that.
YW, and please ping me if you find an actual connection!
“Authorities advise people to stay 1-2 metres apart, but researchers found that a bus passenger infected fellow travellers sitting 4.5 metres away”
Was the infected passenger sitting to the front of the specific other passengers that became infected (and how many were not infected and where did they sit) or was the infected passenger sitting behind the other passengers that became infected.
It matters, because if the original passenger sat to the front of the other passengers who got infected, then those other passengers could have caught the virus touching some part of the infected passenger’s seat on their way out of the bus. A further test of that would be if any passengers who sat more to the front than the original infected passenger were, any of them, found later to be infected, or not.
“Being on the bus’ by itself is a correlation but does not explain exact method of transmission. It is incorrect to assume the ONLY POSSIBLE method of transmission on the bus was “in the air”. Departing passengers touching any part of the infected passengers seat/seat back/seat arm rest (as people often do maintaining balance when departing a bus) could just as well have been the transmission method.
If taking any public transportation, wear latex gloves and never touch your eyes, nose or mouth with your hand.
If you know someone who is suffering from the flu, you might want to keep your distance. Infectious flu-containing particles exhaled by a sick person can travel at least 6 feet, according to a new study. The study involved 94 people who visited the hospital for flu-like symptoms during the 2010 to 2011 flu season.
Health care providers "could be exposed to infectious doses of influenza virus at a distance of up to 1.829 meters (6 feet) from patients," the researchers wrote in the Jan. 31 issue of the Journal of Infectious Diseases.
Researchers know that flu spreads through the air, especially when people cough or sneeze. But more specific details about flu transmission, such as the amount of virus a sick person produces and spreads into the air around him, was not clear, said study researcher Dr. Werner Bischoff, of Wake Forest School of Medicine in North Carolina.
It was previously thought that the flu spreads mainly through large particles, or droplets, in the air that travel short distances, from 3 to 6 feet. But the new study showed most flu viruses are found in very small particles in the air, Bischoff said. Smaller particles can travel farther than larger ones, he said. Because the study did not look at distances beyond 6 feet, the researchers cannot say whether the flu virus can travel farther.
The study also found that some people are more contagious than others. Nineteen percent of patients with the flu were "super-emitters," emitting up to 32 times more virus particles than their fellow flu sufferers, the researchers said.
When clothed, Tetro says people shed 37 million microorganisms per hour, and that it’s hard to know which microbes will survive in clothing and for how long they’ll survive. Since we don’t know if people or surfaces we touch are infected with harmful germs, he says changing clothes can cut the chances of transferring microbes to surfaces and people in your house.
Were they all checking Bill for the clap throughout his illustrious career?
Oh noh! I shop at TS all the time. Only recently TS had Shell T6 5W-40 syn. MO at a really good price - bought several gals.
In the old days we had a guy named Seymour here that ran seminars on spitting. He was good for 60’ at least. I’m not kidding.
It was just a sneeze. (I am going to spray Lysol on everything in the bag, though. LOL)
corona zombies with no names, ages, or travel history? Something is getting very suspicious with this ?
