“In this outbreak, the distances between infector and infected persons were … farther than the generally accepted 2 meter 1/8 6.6 foot] droplet transmission range,” the study’s authors wrote. “The guidelines on quarantine and epidemiological investigation must be updated to reflect these factors for control and prevention of COVID-19.”

“There’s a real misconception about this in the public.” said Seung, who was not involved in the South Korea study. “They’re thinking, if I’m not a close contact, I will magically be protected.”

Linsey Marr, a civil and environmental engineering professor at Virginia Tech who studies the transmission of viruses in the air, said the five-minute window in which the student, identified in the study as “A,” was infected was notable because the droplet was large enough to carry a viral load, but small enough to travel 20 feet through the air.

There is no way society can protect itself from this virus or probably any other.
The answer is we have to lock up the healthy people and release the prisoners including killers like the Green River Killer (who ALMOST got out of life imprisonment) because of “Covid”.
That’s what immune systems are for. You get small doses of a germ. The body develops a defense. Sometimes the germs overpower the immune system but that is also nature. What we are doing now is destroying the body’s ability to fight off infections. This is not good for our future.
Better take up all the “x” marks on the floor in the check out lane and move them 20 feet apart now
Replace the convicted killers with business owners refusing to close
BS. Hospitals ran out of PPE when this all kicked off and hardly any of the workers got the Chicom flu. It’s difficult to catch this bug unless you are very old, very unhealthy or very unlucky.
“The answer is we have to lock up the healthy people and release the prisoners including killers like the Green River Killer (who ALMOST got out of life imprisonment) because of “Covid”.”
No. Euthanize and incinerate the prisoners to be on the safe side.
BS
Now.... try this again with masks that have been worn all day. See if there’s any difference.
Masks prevent you from spraying droplets. But guess what? Either you’re going to end up breathing through the sides of the mask, or you’re going to have a soppy, wet mask within minutes.
The CoVId-19 viron is so small it almost defies gravity. Comparing a mosquito to the virus, a mask is a chain link fence.
That’s why virologists wear pressurized suits when working with it.
You’re willing to lock up business owners who are trying to keep their businesses from being completely destroyed (because of fraudulent information about the Wuhan Coronoavirus) based upon a propaganda POS article from the Sea$$hole Times?
What the hell has FR become?
Article says, “We concluded this was a droplet transmission, and beyond two meters.”

So I am a bit skeptical about their conclusion. They have all this “perfect storm” stuff worked into it. I mean, they figured out the exact MINUTE that this person was infected?
As joe biden would say, “C’mon man!”
Regardless, the odds of this happening are still possible. What is impossible is that Joe Biden won the 2020 election.
Guess I aint going to SOKO then.
As it pertains to airborne viruses, the amount of "protection" is questionable. Outdoor transmission of the virus doesn't seem to be a big issue. Indoor transmission appears to be due to the recirculation of indoor air and the inability to kill the virus in recirculated air.
Yes, there are some methods such as UV Light installed in furnaces' and other filtration methods that can help minimize it, but eliminate the potential of spread?
That's what immune systems are for.
I think the poster was being sarcastic.
Well, that does it.
We can’t go outside or we’ll die.
we can’t stay inside or we’ll die.
We’re all gonna die.
Do you know what we need? We need the DS to chum up more outrageously inflated and outright bogus “death” counts so that the truly stupid cattle among us can just go ahead and die of fright.
Then we can hang the liars and get back to doing that living life thing.
Just riot and loot. You’re protected against the virus.
Every student at Virginia Tech wore a mask around campus but not when partying in bars and houses.
And even the conclusions so far drawn from this story are missing a very serious point.
SINCE South Korea requires everyone to wear a mask and since the requirement is enforced, it must be a fact that everyone was wearing a mask at the time of the infection.
If masks are not effective when the wearers are 20 ft. apart, they are truly worthless.
So this test effectively demonstrates that every thing we have been doing to stop the spread of wu-flu has been worthless, other than perhaps the total isolation of everyone, both those infected with it and those who do not have it.
