More or Less

Smacking myself silly! That should have been obvious if I'd tried harder.

pretty sure it's also spread by respiratory droplets.. which is airborne enough for me to wear a mask anytime i go in public. These droplets can stay suspended in the air for a certain amount of time. People are contagious before they even show symptoms. So spitting while talking, a cough, a sneeze the little demons come running out.

The specific episode I mentioned was in Washington state last month, the Skagit Valley Choral church group. You could look it up if interested.

However, there's nothing like a glass of ice cold milk with a few cookies in the evening.

That’s the only reason I drink milk now and I don’t even drink it. Just dip the cookies in it.

Reports... Not anything scientific. If it was airborne everyone would be infected by now.

I definitely would have it by now if it were airborne I went into the hospital without a mask and they have Covid 19 patients.

Not necessarily. It can take 5-14 days to show symptoms.

I don’t think it is airborne per se but I have heard it can live for a few hours in the air if someone sneezes or coughs?

I'd like to see an actual study done so it's not just he said she said. Most reports people are reading aren't even from a good source. They're just reporters looking to make a buck with every click we make.

I don’t think that’s true. The reporters are just reporting what scientists have said. They don’t just make this stuff up out of their butts haha and it’s been established and being said for a while now about the air thing. That’s why it’s important to stay home or wear masks if you do go out and wash your hands etc.

Both Fauci and Birx said it at their last presser. They would be good folks to take advice from, no?

Exactly. Plenty of scientists saying it and also people have been saying it for a while now so not like it’s new. I don’t think people are trying to spread panic. Just get people to take it seriously.
