It's airborne

its 14 days

I agree,china dropping hints
a million you touch a surface with it on,another million it stays on your hand,till you shake ,touch someone elses hand,and another million that person sticks sed finger up their nose, repeat millions of times across the world,
and as ive posted elsewhere the top german scientists,dr,s,chenmits surrounded germans hoitsopt town and found zilch evicdence of smearing transmission from objects to people ,known as smearing,
think we,ll find its transmitted like normal flu outbteaks

well however it's passed on it's passed on to 2.4 people in normal times  ...so while its very contageous esp in hospitals with viral load etc it can't be THAT easy to just handle it and get the virus   

imo

Good to see you back Bap.

some of that 2.4  is the partner   ... then it was handshaking  or coughing



should go down dramatically unless people deliberately spread the virus  

someone arrested yesterday for contaminating food in a store

'Bap', enforced isolation or Covid-19 induced. What's your contribution today?

hancock attacking sunbathers but at some point with  this still about lives at stake in his words,he,s going to order millions upon millions back to work on public transport,tubes etc,breaking every social distance rule in the book

the sunbathers have done nothing wrong  ...but they are coming out bad

he needs to look after his workers risking death  on a minimum wage 

We are supposed to keep 2 metres apart, so one would assume the virus can only travel less than two metres from its host

We are supposed to keep 2 metres apart, so one would assume the virus can only travel less than two metres from its host

One can spit further than 2m yet a deadly virus has a range of only 2m. Is the Pope non-Catholic?

I see...the two metres also covers thinks like coughing on each other, which would include spit

I see it has not been assessed whether it is airborne or not...

But in the OP's opinion it is

but it is 14 DAYS

If the coronavirus does not develop within 14 days of possible infection...the chances are the person does not have the virus

the average incubation period for this virus is 5 days

and people who  die of it,  is usually within 11.5 days

we have the Scottish loon
and just seen 20 drs crammed into a hospital room some an inch apart,some that close their overlapping,giving thumbs up ,Brexit speeches,waves to ch 4 camera,s,
why doesn't hancock sack the fooooking lot of them instead of banging on about sunmbathers

but you are a spreader for 14 days

the average incubation period for this virus is 5 days

and people who  die of it,  is usually within 11.5 days


Is that some 'official' figure ? It is nonsense IMO

Does not match up to the stats of cases/deaths at all

My guess would be the people dying of it today were infected in the first few days of March.

nice to see Bap back

good evening Cap'n; i watch with an unblinking eye!
ps
i hope you're well & not breathing in too much NW air or aerosols

“In the mind of scientists working on this, there’s absolutely no doubt that the virus spreads in the air,” says aerosol scientist Lidia Morawska at the Queensland University of Technology in Brisbane, Australia. “This is a no-brainer.”

I think there's little doubt the virus spreads most effectively in the air. Surely that's not the debate, it's how long it lingers in the air and whether a breath is sufficient, as opposed to a cough or a sneeze.

Yes there hasn't been any debate about it as far as I know.

If asymptomatic carriers are effective spreaders (and that seems to be largely accepted by everyone) then how else could they be spreading it except by breathing ?  It's not by coughing or sneezing since they're asymptomatic

and yet this hasn't been talked about AT ALL. We see the mainstream media showing videos of how far a cough can travel. We have no requirement for masks etc etc. Would the very likelihood of this be too much to stop people going into all out panic.

Or have the powers that be just not thought this through?

You know I'm such a fool for you
You've got me wrapped around your finger

Do you have to let it linger?
Do you have to, do you have to, do have to let it linger?

За здоровье! Mac

Спасибо Bap!

Re: op... Would have thought that was frigging obvious... tbh.

https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/coronavirus/tiger-at-bronx-zoo-tests-positiv...

from what i've read small amounts are breathed into the air  and stay in the air for some time  ...but you need a certain amount to get an episode going  ...normally when folk 'aerosol'



it's interesting ,but whenever i go into the shop  even for a minute   i end up coughing  for a while some while later   ..then it goes .

It's absolutely airborne and the two metre distance advice is the absolute MINIMUM people should be keeping.  Three or four would be more sensible, imo - and a dang sight more when you're up/down wind of others.

WHO are saying it’s spread if we cough or exhale, I find it very hard to understand that people are infecting others in the open air walking along a path or beach.
If someone coughs in your face, yes. If someone breathes next to you on a crowded tube, yes too.

In the open air? I struggle with that.

if that were the case every single person would have the virus without fail

Sunbathing is now officially banned even when alone!!

In one picture, 3 (three) coppers challenge one man.

I did like this comment re sunbathing:-


If the sun comes out and you stand still will they arrest you?

standing classed  as sunbathing  ....  both not moving ..

like i say ,those in flats  need the space to get out and sunbathe alone away from others ...it's for their mental health .

we don't want a country full of loonies in 6 months time


those doing the lecturing probably live in big houses with gardens

i partly blame the sunbathers ...probably not the brightest


it shouldn't be difficult to find a remote place even in the park itself    ...middle of a park probably not the best idea

They don't give a flying fk about anybody's mental well-being apart from their own , of course

It is not airborne. It is spread by droplets. Droplets may be passed on directly to another person by coughing or sneezing or by putting them onto a surface touched by another person who touches their own face. Hence the advice for social distancing and hand washing.

^^^^^^^^^^^ Thank goodness for the font of all knowledge . I'll sleep easier tonight

I take it your mental health has been affected.

Almost certainly has , yes !

german town hotspot biggest breakout,been engulfed by every top german,scientiust,dr,chemist not on iota of evidence of spread through picking it up of a hard surface,
surely uk science would be taking millions of sampes of supermarket door handles etc and producing tons of evidence thay they've found it on hard surfaces, yet not a drop in a teet has been produced

Anyone volunteering as a guinea pig? Food and board for determining if Covid-19 droplets could be transported by air in a control environment eg get a sufferer like Bojo to cough?

It's being done. Quite a lot of research going on into that (not with Doris though).

they need to trace those door and handle lickers on the underground  .... they could be the key people the scientists need

as you can see; not everyone agrees it is airborne, & that goes for the "experts" as well. Hence this topic

It is found on surfaces, but the role of surface contamination of surfaces is believed to have a very minor role in the overall number of infections in general life. Airborne spreading and infection was found to be far more important in German studies.
