[[The coronavirus is a respiratory virus, transmissible through respiratory secretions, which may be on surfaces or in sprays from coughs and sneezes.]]
Please see the above article about the Ebola being spread the same way- Someone with ebola sneezes on a doorknob, or shopping cart or whatever- several hours later someone comes along touches the cart, then touches their eye, it apparently can be spread that way- and people touch their eyes, noses all throughout hte day without realizing it- it’s a subconscious act- that many people do-
While there is no scientific evidence that direct sneezing can spread ebola- there is no evidence that it can’t either- and if one can get ebola just from touching an infected doorknob that had the ebola on it, then it’s not unreasonable to assume it could be spread through coughing or sneezing, or vomiting, or through blood transmission to an open wound or some other manner-
Again, true, it wouldn’t have been the pandemic, but it was importing a very dangerous disease into our country possibly and the nurse refused to be quarantined out of precaution four others- it was very selfish of her to do so-
Ebola essentailly requires blood to blood contact. An open wound in contact with infected blood. It is a terrifying disease but not easily transmitted.
Airborn viruses are highly contagious. The common cold, influenza, and this Covid-19 bug. If one also has a high mortality rate you have a real problem.
“Mother Abigail”, the retired CDC scientist who once posted here, believed that a hybrid flu would the one disease capable of delivering a near-extinction event. This Covid virus is similar to flu. Not the crowd killer that Mother Abigail is expecting but it may be dangerous all the same. It’s certainly doing something ugly to China.
