Therefore this is not fear-mongering, and I would ask you to please refrain from ad hominem attacks.
There is a magic crystal sitting at the center of the planet.
At a random moment, it will expand to the size of the solar system, and we'll all be dead.
...Unless you can prove for sure that this can't happen and produce solid data to back that up.
Otherwise, any attempt to contradict me is an ad hominem attack.
No, that is not what I said; please do not put words in my mouth. You accused me of fear-mongering; that accusation does not follow from anything I posted in this thread -- where everything I posted was based in published articles. If you wish to continue this further, I would suggest we take it to PM.
Nothing that you alleged was supported by anything that you cited.
The virus can be transmitted as an airborne aerosol, but there has been no study on the transmissability of the virus in the open air, nor its endurance when wafting on the wind. If it can persist on a draft of air, it is not likely to persist "for hours after an infected person exhales it."
You pushed FUD. You're trying to scare people with nonsense.
You did something wrong and were called on it.
Admit it and move on or with your life, or deny it and move on. Either is fine. But there's no defending it.
You are otherwise a respected member of the forum and someone whose opinions I generally respect, but you blew it here.
If you'd like to stop the discussion on the matter, that's fine with me. I don't see any benefit to weighing teapot theories with you over PMs.
