remain in the air - aerosol - in poorly ventilated spaces for and extended period of time - minutes, an hour or even longer
This is what we were told early on then we were told the droplets quickly fall to the ground and don't reach more than a few feet,
Now that the spread is accelerating the thought is, in stagnant air - restaurants, bars, elevators, gyms, and so on indoors
are creating super-spreader zones with the droplets floating around.
Wearing Masks in social settings or where there are others (despite the vast medical knowledge imparted here on UHND by our experts) is a real and effective
tool in combating the spread along with social distancing + wash your hands, don't touch your face.
Who knew that would remain true?
And with all the HDChor... available, I'm sure it won't matter to those who don't wear masks.
