The coronavirus may linger in the air in crowded indoor spaces, spreading from one person to the next, the World Health Organization formally conceded Thursday.
An aerosol is a respiratory droplet so small it may linger in the air. In its latest description of how the virus is spread, the agency said transmission of the virus by aerosols may have been responsible for “outbreaks of COVID-19 reported in some closed settings, such as restaurants, nightclubs, places of worship or places of work where people may be shouting, talking or singing.”
“I interpret this as saying while it is reasonable to think it can happen, there’s not consistent evidence that it is happening often,” Bill Hanage, an epidemiologist at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, said in an email. Some experts have criticized the WHO for being slow to acknowledge the possibility of airborne spread while emphasizing hand-washing as the primary preventive strategy. Even in the new guidance, it’s clear that members of the committee interpreted the evidence differently, said Dr. Trish Greenhalgh, a professor of primary health care at the University of Oxford.

Hot air makes the virus carrying droplets suspend more in the air than cold air.
Why do you keep repeating something that’s already been told?

MAY! You dont know. No proof for yet. So far this is fakenews until its proven to be true.
nytimes Hindi ko talaga magets yung limiting the public transpo. Hindi naman lahat may private vehicle. The more buses or jeeps, the more na hindi need magsiksikan ang mga pasahero, plus mostly open air pa
nytimes 🦠😷🙏🏽
nytimes No, it appears to be the opposite:
nytimes It's aerosolized, we already knew this.
nytimes After all this time.... We suffer alot because you're too proud to admit that you're wrong and they're right! You SUCK in so many level!
