Your lack of detail also led me in the wrong direction just like others saying airborne without detail It's either airborne or not. You are the one who does not understand the difference. Maybe you could actually admit you were mistaken? Doesn't seem like that happens much here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, as I tried, let's talk about the financial impact of C-19. Shutting down the economy completely will hurt people financially and will likely have a negative influence on their decision to make a financial contribution to drum corps. Right at the time the activity needs them the most, let's hope fans can step up and fill the financial void when the activity calls on them.

My point is it does goes thru the air as droplets if sneezed or coughed. Not try to plays games with words just bringing up the point. Which is a reason why, once the humid summer air arrives to much of the country, transmission rates should drop. Think sneeze or cough droplets in dry air versus dense humid air. Won’t travel as far in the humid air. You don’t need to be a research scientist to understand that. And if you want to bring up Australia (it’s summer - it’s hot). Remember the most important thing - it’s not humid like it gets over here. Edited March 29, 2020 by HockeyDad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, as Jim points out, "airborne" is not perceived by most of the public in these scientific ways. "Airborne" sounds like "born in", or "lives in", or even "comes from". I think that's the pushback and I'm glad for the medical reference to which we can refer. Adding to the confusion imo is the 6 feet social distancing recommendation. Could sound like anything from sneeze/cough distance to exhaled air distance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But JimF would be the one I would pick to readily admit when he was wrong. Maybe we could stop "suggesting" to people that they admit when they are wrong of that they "owe" apologies. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It used a nebulizer to create the droplets which are smaller than those created by humans and hang in the air more effectively. It does not replicate anything closely resembling what actually happens on planet earth. COVID-19 IS CAUSING THE FINANCIAL LOSS OF THE 2020 DCI SEASON. REPEATING: The WHO recognizes that COVID-19 can become can be transmitted as an "aerosol" in certain situations. The research is still out on this topic, but most now agree that it can be transmitted when the particles are broken down.
