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

I probably did myself in by going to Shoprite on Friday and Saturday. Darnit!
Wow! That's unreal... I'm beat @ maybe half that distance.
“Was the infected passenger sitting to the front of the specific other passengers...”
My first thought was back to high school physics and the question of if folks in the rear of the bus traveled into the virus. Although the example was a ball being tossed into the air, and the zero reference is inside the bus, so the ball just goes verticaly up and down. I’m guessing that it is the same with anything - no matter how small it is.
It was a wild time here in the ‘60s and 70s.
Vitamin D and immunity
Thank Goodness for MeTV.. I can remember what the good old days were like.
Lancet magazine has an article with a medical study of Chinese.
https://www.thelancet.com/lancet/article/S0140-6736(20)30566-3
It’s a peer-reviewed scientific journal.
Get some sun and drink Vitamin D fortified milk, maybe?
Publishing this as fact is just an example of how scientifically dumbed down the population has become. No wonder GW is accepted.
I think the recent trend of marking “Supermoons” Super Blood Moons, etc. also plays on peoples’ ignorance...ascribing something incredible to the mere fact two events repeat within a 30 or 31 day month. I think this makes some people think we’re living in apocalyptic times.
On a side note, can anyone guess my brother’s occupation? He predicts with complete accuracy when his business will peak or slow down.
Garbage collector?
Green vegetables contain a lot of vitamin K, and there is a danger of getting too much vitamin K, because it affects blood clotting (folks on blood thinners take note) - so, if you eat a lot of green vegetables, maybe only take a D3 supplement that does not contain vitamin K. - I'm no doc...
Faster than a speeding bullet.
Japan did a study a couple years ago on vitamin D and the flu. They suggested 10,000 IU of D for protection. Increasing it if you think you are getting symptomatic.
Read another article where a mental heath facility was using high dose vitamin D IV treatment to treat some mental illness, I think schizophrenia. They notice less respiratory infections in those patients.
Been taking 10,000 IU a day the last 2 winters and no longer get the bug that goes through my office every year. Did most of the years before.
I vote to take it.
The ‘not airborn’ spiel is BS. Regular respiration expels droplets. Given the amount of mouth breathers and people yammering on their phones, we’re doomed.
Vitamin K2 is the one to take with D. K1 is the one food in leafy greens that increases clotting. Most people get enough K1 in their diet and don’t need supplementation.
I was wondering that too as well as the air circulation system.
Thanks!
Thanks!
Apparently something like this was sold to China by the UNC lab in 2015 and it has been tweaked. Sure seems like a globalist’s eugenics dream, as it kills off the elderly and other nonproductive types, spares the children.
Could well have been something China detonated to first cut down on their elderly, as they’ve had a demographics timebomb ticking for years now, give them a chance to go authoritarin with Hong Kong and others getting friskie, and then also to set a social and economic bomb in our direction, as Xi doesn’t go quietly buckling under Trump’s negotiations to protect the US.
