Health experts from the National Academy of Sciences reportedly told the White House on Wednesday that limited research shows aerosolized droplets produced by talking or simply breathing may spread the novel coronavirus.

Just lost my tea, after reading your post.
However....your theory does, in a way, tie into the reports we heard, early on, coming out of Wuhan about ‘methane plumes’....that were believed to also spread the virus.
So....there’s that.
Why just the White House? What about other people talking, breathing?
Everybody hold your breath till the end of April.
Trump advisers: There's some small info that hasn't been studied really that say is could be spread by talking or breathing. We must alert the media.
It's almost like they have an agenda...
The Babylon Bee is probably upset that the MSM preemptively stole their headline.
Wow.
For two entire months we have denied this simple truth.
Now we have (by far) the most disease in the entire globe. By a factor of at least 200%.
And now, finally, they start to think, maybe. Just maybe. Maybe.
Maybe people should wear facemasks.
Maybe.
(Maybe)
For crying out loud.
Why should it be different there?
Really? Spain has 240 cases per 100,000 people. Switzerland 218, Italy 191, Belgium 132, Austria 124, Germany 101, Norway 95, France 91, Netherlands 86, Israel 79, Ireland 78, USA 74.
Looks like Spain has over 3 times as many cases.
We have over 200,000 cases.
FAR more, than any other country.
Anywhere.
The number of cases is a result of s large population and testing capacity, not lack of precautions.
True.
Glasses help, but a pair of goggles actually is best.
Completely true.
If you say so.
You are right China already confirmed the fecal oral route for this bug. They also have plenty of evidence of aerosol transmission particularly the cases where a passenger on a bus caught on camera and confirmed positive after the fact infected people 4.5 meters away , andand also infected two additional passengers 30 minutes after they departed. No other people were sick on the bus at that time. There’s a peer reviewed paper of this incident I’ll have to look for it. Japan has at least 33 more examples that were.medically reviewed that show transmission over 3 meters away again via aerosols. This is of no surprise other coronavirus spread this way, as does influenza and mumps and measles. The human body when it is in peak infectious stage sheds millions of virus particles just breathing.
1. Stop talking and breathing.
2. To facilitate that effort, simply assume the official new CDC/DNC safety position recommendation, as shown below.
How a Democrat reads the headline:
Report: [Experts Warn] [White House Talking], [(White House) Breathing] May Spread Coronavirus
I took several public health and epidemiology courses that tied in with my major in college (Fluid Dynamics/Water Treatment and Distribution).
The epidemic aspects of it required the courses, no where near what the so called “EXPERTS” in Medicine and Epidemiology are supposed to know.
I knew this crap 45 years ago, they are just figuring it out?
Lunchtime!
Should have said we COVERED this crap 45 years ago; just to remind the idiots in the classes who forgot what airborne transmission means.
We also covered this crap in USMC NBC Warfare school 52 years ago!
Hwah, hwah! Yuk, yuk! “Would you buy that for a quarter?” Har, har!
