New from ReutersGraphics: How COVID-19 is reshaping how we use and move through public space

Strong airflow from the air conditioner could have propagated droplets from table C to table A, then to table B, and then back to table C.We don’t yet know how much of the virus you can be exposed to before contracting COVID-19, but the amount of time we spend in a place that is contaminated increases that risk.

Just breathing exposes our bodies to virus in the air around us. In open-air spaces, the amount of virus in the air is usually lower. In indoor spaces with poor ventilation, the concentration can be much higher.On Jan. 24, 10 people became ill after a person who had travelled from Wuhan ate lunch at a restaurant. Researchers said this outbreak could not be explained by normal droplet spread because the distances between people at other tables were all greater than 1 metre.

Like the ones we consider during annual flu seasons?

Common sense is all we need.

This is an interesting and imaginative presentation. I wish it had considered aerosols rather than droplets and transmission through droplets surviving on hard-surfaces.

Too complicated

Cool let's throw a rally then.

can't go outside, can't stay inside

Jeffrey Epstein ex-girlfriend Ghislaine Maxwell arrested by FBI

3 metres or 10 feet What changed it to 6 ft?

It didn’t take a pandemic for me to hate people getting all up in my personal space. What people can’t manage to stay 6 ft apart? Aside from perverts and pickpockets... no, you don’t need to be within a 6 ft radius of anyone other than your significant other and family.

Nothing is safe. We MUST all stay home in seperate rooms wrapped in saran wrap. The Democrats will take care of us. The CDC NEVER lies.

6 feet and wear the damn mask.

...its simple - issue the single piece suits for each individuals..with mask and body piece...everyone can roam freely..

There is no “safe” theater. Accept it and move on.

It wont end well

stayhome if you are in the USA

Graphics a mother load would...)))

Graphics How do feel about BLM protesters marching nuts to butts in the streets? If there is spike in positive tests in C-19 are you going to blame the protests?

Graphics Right.... except the worst flu I ever had in my life (I thought my chances of dying were statistically significant) I was 8 ft away from another shopper who let out a giant sneeze. If I could go back and punch that guy now, I would.

Graphics Every year there are literally 100s of millions of people infected with Covid. But less than 1% succumb to the virus and almost All of them had multi co-morbid conditions.

Graphics So. What you’re showing is..... White is healthy. Black is sick. ......... Is that what you’re saying?

Graphics Wear a mask and practice physical distancing.

Graphics Your graphic does *not* explain how much exposure it takes. Not even slightly. What quantity of viral load does it need, please answer. I'll wait..... FakeNews

This is a very good way to explain how COVID is transmitted and the visuals and the way the article reads online is excellent.

Graphics Argentina 1,5 mts or 2 mts even in supermarkets 🤣

Graphics We need bubbles. Ca we get personal bubbles? Literal personal bubbles with recycled plastic?

Graphics So sad

Graphics Remember herd immunity?
