[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So many ignorant American people who do not understand a basic biology or the nature of viruses. You cannot get a virus outside in fresh air unless someone literally spits all over your face. That includes flu virus too. Most viruses stay in air for at least 3-4 hours INSIDE. So it is very likely to get sick indoors. Make sure your child washes their hands often especially after touching playground equipment.[/quote]

And the odds of asymptomatic transmission indoors is .7%. So odds of someone outdoors, positive with no symptoms, spitting in face? Seems very much in line with risks we take every day.[/quote]

Where did you get that figure. Honestly asking. [/quote]

And this is household transmission.

“A total of 54 relevant studies with 77 758 participants reporting household secondary transmission were identified. Estimated household secondary attack rate was 16.6% (95% CI, 14.0%-19.3%), higher than secondary attack rates for SARS-CoV (7.5%; 95% CI, 4.8%-10.7%) and MERS-CoV (4.7%; 95% CI, 0.9%-10.7%). Household secondary attack rates were increased from symptomatic index cases (18.0%; 95% CI, 14.2%-22.1%) than from asymptomatic index cases (0.7%; 95% CI, 0%-4.9%), to adult contacts (28.3%; 95% CI, 20.2%-37.1%) than to child contacts (16.8%; 95% CI, 12.3%-21.7%), to spouses (37.8%; 95% CI, 25.8%-50.5%) than to other family contacts (17.8%; 95% CI, 11.7%-24.8%), and in households with 1 contact (41.5%; 95% CI, 31.7%-51.7%) than in households with 3 or more contacts (22.8%; 95% CI, 13.6%-33.5%).”
