I saw a good interview with a american-british doctor with WHO who said that studies are showing it can be airborne but she thinks not often because it is a large virus molecule snd therefore heavy and likely to sink down, so is mostly on surfaces. She seemed to know what she was talking about. Sorry I cant remember her name.

Except this is not an airborne virus. try again OP.

I've been doing it all - masks when hitting grocery stores or pharmacies (or scarves), hand washing and gels etc... Not enough intel to relax any of them -- the exception ? A nice long hike in Rock Creek or around my neighborhood, free...

I think this based on how easily people seem to get it.

One example is the NBA basketball player who gave it to a kid while signing autographs.

Did the NBA player sneeze? Cough? How could it be transmitted in the relatively short time of giving an autograph?

So yes it will be in the air, but the droplets don't sit there in a cloud waiting for you to walk into it. Once it is coughed or sneezed or breathed out it will begin to dissipate as gasses naturally move from areas of higher concentration to areas of lower concentration. You need a certain amount of exposure to get it so unless you breathe in what someone just breathed out you will be fine. Being outside in the fresh air is probably one of the best things you can do for yourself right now. How lucky we are to have such marvelous weather.

op has reading comprehension deficicy.

Why? No one knows enough about this virus for there to be solid recommendations. This is a VERY qualified individual giving his opinion.

The title does not match the experts opinion. The expert says keep washing hands

If it were truly airborne, a lot more people would already be sick, here and around the world.

What does airborne mean? The droplets have to come from a person, right? They might linger in the air around a person after a cough, but I don’t think they can be carried with the breeze all over town?

This article is informative and says airborne transmission probably only occurs in health care https://www.livescience.com/coronavirus-can-spread-as-an-aerosol.html

Not sure I'm buying this.

Trump, Fauci, et al. are misleading the public and trying to tamp down hysteria because they know the ball was already dropped. This is airborne across the nation and we only have 300,000 hospital beds for the 1,000,000 plus mostly elderly that will need one.

We want to flatten the curve. Even if it is in our homes or the air we are spreading it by being out and about.

How hard is this to understand???

Dr. Fauci knows what he is talking about he's not reactionary he has science behind his thoughts.

Again flatten the curve and stay home!.

Tell politicians and media to STOP lying to people. The run on toilet paper, hand sanitizer, Clorox wipes and “just wash your hands and don’t touch your face” is all based on LIES. Tell the public this is in the air.

...You think Dr. Fauci is lying to us?

No one is saying that you will be fine by washing your hands. Everyone is saying that you will slow down the spread, and that's the best case scenario.

I feel bad for the elderly grocery workers that have no masks.
