But Mother Abigail does think it can go airborne- and unless your friend has the sort of expertise she appears to possess I’d take her word for it.
Regarding HIV going airborne, I am an ignoramous and can only learn from others. Actually friend asked another friend who is some kind of doctor who either teaches or is in some kind of related field, can’t remember at the moment as I am very tired... I was just passing on another apparently educated assessment. MA could very well be correct. I fully expect some kind of bad pandemic sooner or later.
I have been following the MD situation on the PFI forum, looks very bad - two siblings showed up at hospital coughing blood. Sounds like cytokine storm basically turning the lungs to raw meat. One report said the funeral director got sick too. CDC is getting or did get samples and will see what kind of flu A it is. Whether we’ll find out is another matter.
