Saturday, 04 Apr 2020 08:12 AM MYTNEW YORK, April 4 ― The new coronavirus might spread through the air via normal breathing and speaking, a top US scientist said yesterday as the government was poised to recommend the use of face masks for everyone.

Fauci's comments come after the National Academy of Sciences sent a letter to the White House on April 1 that summarized recent research on the subject. This triggered a debate even as critics said the findings were overblown because the team behind the study used a medical device called a nebuliser to deliberately create a viral mist and argued this would not occur naturally.

The Hong Kong researchers collected viral samples from patients with the coronavirus and other viral respiratory illnesses, and gave some of the patients face masks.The Chinese paper on the other hand raised concerns that personal protective gear used by health care workers could itself be a source of airborne virus.

Sebab tu peniaga pun kena buat semburan disinfectant selalu dalam kedai .... sebab suhu sejuk lagi lama dia tahan .... Hand sanitizer saja x cukup .... Ia merebak melalui udara .....

Common sense isn't it?

I can't breath. Urghh

TSMusaHassan La... I thought it was already well known... Thus the social distancing of 1 metre is compulsory. Are they using internet explorer?

Me : Breathing abnormally.

WaikuanT does it take scientists to figure this out? it's not just coughing and sneezing. ANY thing we do that pushes air out of the lungs, consciously or unconsiously, will push out whatever shit there is along the way. Does it take a genius to figure that out? Brain lockdown? Think!

Next thing they’re gonna say is that you may catch Coronavirus by listening to Trump 🙄

Not surprised anymore
