The WHO has said the coronavirus disease spreads primarily from person to person through small droplets from the nose or mouth, which are expelled when a person with COVID-19 coughs, sneezes or speaks.
In an open letter to the agency, which the researchers plan to publish in a scientific journal next week, 239 scientists in 32 countries outlined the evidence showing smaller particles can infect people, the NYT saidWhether carried by large droplets that zoom through the air after a sneeze, or by much smaller exhaled droplets that may glide the length of a room, the coronavirus is borne through air and can infect people when inhaled, the scientists said, according to the NYT.
However, the health agency said the evidence for the virus being airborne was not convincing, according to the NYT. “Especially in the last couple of months, we have been stating several times that we consider airborne transmission as possible but certainly not supported by solid or even clear evidence,” Dr. Benedetta Allegranzi, the WHO’s technical lead of infection prevention and control, was quoted as saying by the NYT.
WHO It’s not novel.
WHO Maurice de Hondt had, heeft en krijgt gelijk...👐🏼
WHO The part of the article that should come first, not last: 'However, the health agency said the evidence for the virus being airborne was not convincing, according to the NYT.' Same ol' tricks.

WHO However it has proven that it does not attend protests, riots and looting.

WHO Calling on WHO for advice reminds me of something about trusting gas station sushi.
WHO Didn't we already know this? I thought the consensus was that yes, it can be airborne, but it is uncommon and not a major cause of serious infection. If this were really a huge problem, people would be dropping dead after grocery shopping

Hundreds? What are their names?
It actually says: 'we have been stating several times that we consider airborne transmission as possible but certainly not supported by solid or even clear evidence'
The WHO can not be trusted, they are a communist asset of China.
LIES!!!
WHO? Seriously?!!!
droplet? airborne? hundreds? scientists? wat kind of kitty news agency- reuters is. never get to the real deal. only busy with propagandas. July now, Not Jan!
WRP drones reaches everywhere. 2 decades ago NAIROBI was regularly seeded with biochem pathogens using Helicopters ostensibly looking for carjackers from all corners of the City and it's satellite Towns. So seeding by drones could be WRP favourite mode of spread as in EBOLA !
Isn’t that what they’ve been saying all along?
Afraid WHO doesn't know the fact from the fiction....
Idiots: I wOnT wEAR a MaSk
Why are they acting like coronaviruses and all the other respiratory virus are a new thing? Of course it’s airborne it’s a respiratory droplet virus
Slightly alarming tweet until you read the article. No proof of airborne transmission beyond what is already known.
Sensational reporting at work again😇😇😇
To Revise? Again? Hairs in the air 🙄 Hundreds - God bless him.
Air pollution scientists know that a particle as small as this virus travels as a gas does. Why don't epidemiologists?
How in the world can you trust the WHO? They have been deceitful, mixed messages. There needs to be reform.
What have you got to lose?!
WHO will get the China's permission to do that.
Who are these scientists? We need institutions for recommendations, not individuals, even if in the hundreds.
millions of scientists agree with WHO
That article says almost nothing to back the headline! Again, assertions - no evidence!
As expected. Think about being in an elevator and an infected person sneezes. You’re wearing your cheap blue surgical mask or your cute cloth mask as recommended. You have a very high chance of catching the virus. N95 masks will be recommended once supply is up! Guaranteed
Duh! 😏
May be now its virus multiply .. .
They will do anything you want as long as you pay to.
I said this from the beginning. 😠
It's been evident since January that it's airborne...
birgittaj that is what is usually the case with a BIOLOGICAL WEAPON as this one the US manufactured, patented and spread - have said that since february, now the scientists confirm what I said all along. People just never learn!
Uk is screwed. Nation of piss heads who have no clue when sober about social distancing. Would like to say feeling safe in Scotland but it’s full of Mel Gibson clones screaming freedom, on par with Covid 🍷
For those just reading the headlines and the 3 first lines in a tweet: 'However, the health agency said the evidence for the virus being airborne was not convincing, according to the NYT'
Who in the hell does not think it’s airborne? I think the viral load is lower. Indicating it’s a weaker virus. The uptick is caused mainly by the 20/30 age group who can’t seem to social distance.

I always assumed it was.
...lies. Coronavirus tests are a LIE… false positives vastly outnumber real positives … official infection counts wildly overstated
sure
If it wasn’t airborne, can someone explain how on earth did the indigenous tribe in amazon jungle get infected?! Did the Chinese infiltrate the rainforest and barbecue a macaw there too?!
How do we get to six months into a pandemic before scientists start to speculate about these kinds of fundamental things?
Because Chinese Communist Party asks the scientists to day so?
NYT knows the U.S. is not working with WHO. This report is not verified nor published yet, with no evidence to support it.
Here we go again. F off with this
NickLaFave
Will 'scientists' say later that viruses are spread by thought?
Western style of arrogance and deliberate negligence of airborne warning from China. Incurable!
The WHO is saying the virus isn't airborne? So why are they recommending masks? Wtf are they talking about?
wrong finding

We as a Country are screwed...90% of all fireworks for consumers are made in China...Last night Fourth of July more fireworks were shot than ever before. Airborne

WHO and these scientists must get their acts together. The world is confused about their contradicting statements. Disinformation and misinformation double the risk.
thatjumperswet
Show us the proof? List the scientists?
We are doomed
A statement that the WHO is bought and paid for. It no longer serves a purpose and is corrupted by the highest bidder.
As though anyone views the WHO as a source of timely research updates at this point....
Of course it’s airborne & why being outside with ventilation helps decrease rate of infection. Also, if you aren’t wearing a mask, you’re essentially saying “f u neighbor.” Whatever
So new lies.
Name those ‘hundreds’
shut it down. defund
I believe they are referring to 'indoor' data. Here is a link to one of the PDF's. The important thing, is not to conflate indoor data with outdoor data. Outdoor data is still forthcoming.
It's transmitted by line of thought...... If you think you can get it YOU WILL........
Are they all employed by the pharmaceutical industry?
WHO... China’s own PR firm knows how to continue to weaken the US.
misericórdia!
It’s funny to read all of these stupid Twitter users that probably failed science talk out of their assed about a virus they know nothing about on a cellular level. The ignorance of humans is about as mind blowing as the damage this virus will do to the population.
Here's something else that they keep saying,that it's a swine flu derived from pigs..ever thought that the feed is infected with like say...fungi spores..how mouldy is the feed used to feed the live stock..
WHO needs to move fast on this. Taiwan told them it was human to human in December and they ignored it. This is not something to be ignored.
Fungi spores did you say...ooo,look out summer!
It is true that I read a lot about it. Many doctors have confirmed that the virus is transmitted through the air 🤔
This is no time for jokes, Reuters! AbbottCostello
Everyone already knows it! This WHO is useless.
Well as an science student as per I have knowledge a virus from airborne can't alive more than 1 hour but u r saying CoronaUpdates COVID19 can alive upto 4hiurs ?
List of WHO coronavirus errors: -ignored early 🦠 warning from Taiwan in Dec -said human transmission “unlikely” - in March said “masks don’t help” -said asymptomatic transmission “rare” -said virus “not airborne” -said hydroxychoroquine “not effective” -WHO you’re fired
When China quarantined Wuhan-- that was your 1st clue.
Unreal!!! The BS just keeps on continuing
Hundreds? All bribed by Gates I'm sure...
BULLSSSSHHHIIIITTTT
😳
'This lockdowns falling apart around the seams lads...they've realised it's just a flu and they're not wearing the masks like you said they would...what else can we say to reinstate the fear?' 'How about we tell them its airborne 🤷♂️?' 'You bloody genius....get it printed'
Whuh oh
No thanks u creepy weirdos
This just shows we need to get the schools opened up fast.
Off course it's airborne because it is a respiratory virus
'completely unexpected - the woman who'd attended the later service, after the Chinese couple had left, had sat in the seats they had used several hours earlier.' CV19 can remain active for hours on surfaces. So facemasks AND bottles of handwash needed.
Lololol
I thought we already knew this
From very beginning, it had been disclosed that coronavirus is airborne. It’s not a news!
Could that be why there are so many people with antibodies and are or were asymptomatic due to being infected with a lower exposure to the virus?
I suspect this is true....
AtlanticoEmi Fucking China virus
And through farts, too?
Months later...
I am one of the scientists who wrote the paper. A critical problem, described by apoorva_nyc, is lack of nuance on 'airborne.' More accurate is 'opportunistic airborne', transmits well indoors under crowded, low ventilation, long duration, no masks. Avoid each of those!
China Feb 2020
This virus does not kill 99.97% if the people who catch it.
Mask unto others as you would have them mask unto you.
