Re: [Vo]:Better than N95
You didn't read the articles. The issue is not sneezing! It is breathing. And talking. The articles indicate that you can catch the Covid-19 disease from aerosols whose sizes are 5 microns. Not only that, they can hang in the air for much longer than droplets from coughing and sneezing. And 2 meters is not the safe distance...it's more like 7 to 8 meters. Combine this with the face that 40 to 50 percent of infected people are asymptomatic while still shedding huge numbers of virionswell, Brix said today to not even go to the grocery store. And a balaclava isn't much protection. Cheers.

The only reference I could find for the size of the virus is 0.1 micron. So assuming that both measures (i.e. 0.1 & 5) refer to a diameter, and volume goes as the cube of diameter that means at most 50^3 = 125000 (which ignores packing factor) in one aerosol particle, probably much less of course.

Re: [Vo]:Better than N95
Speaking of, did you know that Oprah Winfrey almost died of pneumonia in September also? She had just returned from Italy. One theory is that the virus has been around a lot longer than we think. It would be interesting to see if she has antibodies for SARS-CoV-2. On Sat, Apr 4, 2020 at 7:48 PM Terry Blanton wrote: > I was in intensive care in September 16, 2019 due to sepsis.
