Great description.
I wonder if these virus laden particles can travel in air currents across countries, continents, and oceans.
they can piggyback on dust. Might want to use pledge or something that captures dust as you dust, and then burn the dust cloth. If you have a vacuum that uses bags, might want to lay in a small supply of those too. The bagless vacuums can be disinfected with a bleach spray
The particles themselves can stay airborne almost indefinitely as micron to submicron particles are so weakly attracted by gravity the slightest fluid flow movement keeps them airborne. The particles themselves will dilute with increasing distance and at some point the viral load will be to low to cause infection. For a single infected human this will be 2 to 10 meters depends on minimum viral load to ensure infection, velocity of air movement and supply of fresh gasses vs recycled gasses basically outside in wind vs inside of a store or bus or airplane.
I have done plume studies of H2S and benzene gasses for the oil industry it’s one of the scientific services I provide as a consulting scientist.
No.
Even 100 ft. away, the dispersion is so great that the virus concentration is too low to infect you.
Plus viral particles usually don’t survive too long in aerosol form in an outdoor environment.
This thing is basically a “chest cold” virus that is rougher than usual for some people.
They just need to travel from the fart the guy on the other side of the big box store laid to you.
