It might be airborne within confined spaces. From what I have read the CDC recommends the N95 mask for anyone working with Ebola patients. It filters down to 0.3 microns, but the virus is about 0.08 micron in diameter.
It is not airborne yet. Hope it never gets there. Right now it is the droplets that scare me.
Airborne virus means that by itself it can be airborne. This virus so far shows no indications of being that. Hell... The flu doesn’t even do that.
It is like the flu or a cold in how it can spread. Scary sh!t.
If it goes airborne we are F’d.
Right now there are precautions you can start taking.
Bleach
Sterno
N95 or 100 masks. Lots
Non vented goggles
Gloves. Lots
Food stored: rice beans peas lentils canned meats
A small rocket stove (you can make one from what you already have. Hit YouTube and look for it. Vermiculite type is the one I recommend. Portable)
Safe water
A pump sprayer to decon anything, anyone entering your home. 10% bleach or 100% sterno wipe down.
Tyvek suits, rubber boots, small trash bag secondary head covering with mouth/eye holes and duct tape if the shtf and we have to bug out.
