[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I though even  non-scientists would know that it was in the air?

These kinds of illnesses have been happening when seasons change. Right now the world is hotter and wetter...conditions that will result in a blooming of microbes of all sorts.

Yes, it is in the air.  [b]But hygiene practices like washing hands and wearing masks  and not congregating together - lowers the VIRUS LOAD in your body.  Also prevents CO-INFECTIONS with other stuff like eColi, Listeria, etc etc etc.

Which means that your wonderful body will fight and recover if it is a small skirmish instead of a full fledged WWIII [/quote]

:roll: Omg stop. It was false info lies they fed us because there aren't any masks.

What he stated is not inaccurate. Person to person spread is the main vector and the virus is only airborne in medical contexts related to equipment.

If you are concerned enough about this to panic, please defer to CDC and WHO. The science is all we have to go on and any vaccines that will be created will be based on the science.

Re: mask shortages and messaging: yes, federal and state governments are still advising that N95 are to be reserved for healthcare staff who are fit tested for them.

No arguments here- just presenting facts.
