HAHA. I thought that would get your attention, but ‘according to a recent study‘, you can actually assist in the spreading of the virus simply by talking. It’s even worse if you are talking loudly. Pffft! … Sorry, I just spit out my coffee. Look, I have this saying that I keep repeating, ‘The virus is real. The lockdown is political.”. I know the COVID-19 is real. I know, just like any virus, it can be passed from person to person, person to object, person to air, air to person, and so on. It’s basic logic and some science sprinkled in. So don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying go cough all over people, but let’s all just take a moment and gather some common sense. This particular study was presented in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America. The results proved that saliva droplets that are produced by a person who is positive for COVID-19 are “increasingly considered to be a likely mode of disease transmission.” .. (No Shit Sherlock)
If you speak loudly, then the study also found that your mouth will release thousands of ‘oral fluid droplets’ in just one second. If the area where this takes place is closed off with poor ventilation, those infected oral fluid droplets can stay alive for anywhere between 8 and 15 minutes. That’s quite a long time for other people to pass by and unknowingly get some of those droplets stuck on them. Then it carries on from there. The study did not test the simulation in all environments, so different conditions may have different results. The study conclusion went on to say “It raises serious concerns that the mere act of an infected patient talking could be dangerously effective in transmitting coronavirus to others. The researchers write that their estimates are conservative; with some patients producing a much larger amount of the virus than average, which could increase the number of virus-containing droplets to well over 100,000 per minute of speaking.” …. I’m sure the Nervous Nancy’s of the world are running wild with fear from this story, and screaming “Wear A Mask!!”. … COMMENT BELOW
