miley-excited001:Care to revise that statement?
It presently has not one iota of truth it it.
I'm sure that you meant to write something truthful and pithy, rather than paranoid and nonsensical.
INSERT COMPLETELY OUT-OF-CONTEXT CITATIONS HERE
I thought better of you.
The subject was walking on the beach.
There is zero evidence that walking outdoors will subject you to COVID-19 idling on the breeze for hours after some random person exhaled on the same path.
You are fear-mongering.
With respect, you are not being fair. All four of the citations I provided, as well as the citations THEY cite, are contextually relevant.
Note that I did NOT say that it was for certain -- nobody knows for sure that this could happen, but there is enough factual, pertinent data to suggest that it is a possibility and therefore should be a concern. (One of the citations I provided, itself cites a paper where they showed aerosol spread of the original SARS virus.) We do not know exactly how long the aerosolized virus persists, and under what conditions, with or without wind, etc. Unless you can prove that it is known FOR SURE that this cannot happen -- let's see your data on that.
Therefore this is not fear-mongering, and I would ask you to please refrain from ad hominem attacks.
