Video Shows How Cough Can Spread A Cloud Of Coronavirus Across Supermarket
thesun.co.uk ^ | 9 Apr 2020

This terrifying animation shows how coronavirus particles from a single cough can hang in the air "several minutes" and spread across two aisles of a supermarket.

Scientists created a computer simulation to study how far the virus can travel indoors - and worryingly found how a cloud of droplets will infect others even after the sick person has walked away.

“Extremely small particles of this size do not sink on the floor, but instead, move along in the air currents or remain floating in the same place."

Best course of action is to build up the immune system to try and prevent getting it in the first place.

Why do you think the positive information about treating vit. c is being labeled fake news or outright suppressed as is happening?

What has happened to this Country?

When you find an answer to that, let me know.

Whatever happened is disgraceful.

Either we’re not being told something or we’re sitting in our homes hiding from some monster.

I hope it’s that we’re not being told something rather than hiding from some viral monster that we’re all gonna get or already had anyway. And I’m not sitting in my home. I go to stores every few days, walk daily, visit with people.

Tell me why. Because of some viral infection? Or a bio weapon?

Whatever it is, it isn’t worth giving up my Constitutional Rights. What’s the next mandate? Giving up our guns, our 2nd Amendment Rights?

Yet the subway in NYC still isn’t closed nor is any public transportation in any city.

So yeah, what’s with that?

And you don’t hold a degree in English (neither do I) but if you did your post would be more coherent.Or at least structured.

If everyone walking into a grocery store had their temp taken at the door and was required to wear a mask the cough would NOT have gone far - and would likely be less of a hazard...

Think of it this way - there's risk involved in driving a car - but a lot more risk if they're drunk and going a hundred miles an hour.

The free market challenge will be to reduce the risk to the point of comfort - NOT to eliminate all risks...

These videos illustrate how the virus is transmitted over oceans.

This article is part of a concerted propaganda effort to scare workers in the food supply chain away from their jobs and cause societal collapse.

Here’s the beauty of a market economy - people vote with their feet.

If most people feel like YOU feel - and don’t want restrictions on stores then the ones that offer safety will lose business.

If I’m right - and the majority of people want to shop and feel like it’s NOT ‘a life or death decision’ - then changes will take place.

I doubt this will be the only ‘accidental’ release of a virus - and the next one might be much worse. If we were nuked and I wanted areas of highest radiation roped off so people wouldn’t casually walk into high radiation areas and kill themselves, would you object?

we're we the kids who drank from the hose in the backyard, caught snakes and set off fireworks in all kinds of manner, built tree forts high up in trees, and here we are now, cowering like fraidy cats..... what has happened to this country?

We stopped fearing God and started fearing death.

I think that the next time I enter a grocery store, I’ll simply open my mouth wide and inhale deeply. Might as well get this the h*ll over with. Gonna get it eventually, since my town had a nursing home incident.

Would you recommend the use of UV light to kill the virus aerosols before they get to any potential victims?

Couldn’t agree more! In today’s culture most people (and sadly many in this community) worship “science” and “scientists”. Many profess to worship God, but when the chips are down they bow down to “expert opinion” and march meekly to totalitarian tunes.
