The CDC says coronavirus is airborne and spread by aerosols, warns of poorly ventilated spaces
Washington Post ^ | September 21, 2020 | Tim Elfrink

For months, scientists and public health experts have warned of mounting evidence that the novel coronavirus is airborne, transmitted through tiny droplets called aerosols that linger in the air much longer than the larger globs that come from coughing or sneezing.

Now, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention agrees. The CDC recently changed its official guidance to note that aerosols are “thought to be the main way the virus spreads” and to warn that poorly ventilated indoor spaces are particularly dangerous.

“From what I understand masks do a decent job of limiting aerosols from an infected person.”

I’ve seen zero evidence for that. I also note that my mask fogs my glasses, so I assume it it forcing the air I exhale DOWN into going UP & OUT - where it can stay airborne easier.

What can’t corona do? It’s almost like as flexible as global warming in what it can do.

No, 6 months in and they are telling you something to kind of support continued wearing of a mask. More important it makes people feel like they are proactively combating Covid.

Can you smell food cooking through a mask? Your capable of inhaling a virus through your mask if the answer is yes.

I’m pretty sure it’s spread by clothing.

Everyone should go naked.

It’s primarily fecal-oral and spread by the poor bathroom and hand washing habits of the massive number of Third Worlders we have allowed into the USA in recent decades.

Of course, this isn’t a subject the Left cares to have discussed - even without the collectivist dream results of lockdown and mask mandates that fear of airborne viruses has caused the public to accept.

Stay away from public transit, night clubs, house parties filled with dozens of strangers and only one bathroom available, and regular sexual intercourse with random hookups and your risk of even contracting this virus is tiny.

All of these things are Leftist sacraments too, you may have noticed...

When “experts” prove to be about as accurate as a 16-year old with a dart board, time to fire the “experts”.

Point of order:

The esteemed Dr. Fauci actually endorsed the idea of sexual intercourse with random hookups on Tinder.

Ever been to a clothing optional resort?

People that like to be naked...

...really shouldn’t.

Soooooooo... Places that allow smoking and install the requisite “smog hogs” are safer than the places that dont. Funny how that works.

I have stated that if one can smell a fart through drawers and jeans, a mask isn’t going to stop a virus.

LMAO-The inept incompetent CDC has had so many contradictory opinions on this virus, we seriously have to ask what they were they doing with the Billions of taxpayer money they were getting.

It seems the CDC doesn't know much about Disease Control. -Tom

I’m ignorant. What is an example of an aerosol in a gym, restaurant, or bar? I agree that ventilation is important. But is ventilation an aerosol?

Wow, they just figured out this MAY be the case.

How would we survive without them and their infinite wisdom which is relevant for the next 15 minutes until new opinions come out?
