Re: Well, interesting read on airborne transfer

I linked an earlier article on lab tests and was derided as a fear mongerer, paniced and much more. Well, here you go folks it seems likely as this event shows. No it is not a scientific study, could be mere happenstance but those odds are unlikely .

Choir practice turns fatal. Airborne coronavirus strongly suspected

The deadly outbreak among members of a choir has stunned health officials, who have concluded that the virus was almost certainly transmitted through the air from one or more people without symptoms.

"It seemed like a normal rehearsal, except that choirs are huggy places."

No one denies that getting in a confined space with someone who is infected won't get you in trouble. What medical professionals are saying is that the likelihood of getting infected while walking down an uncrowded sidewalk is slim to none.

We are in a prison of two choices. Each of us seems to lean toward being absolutely positive it's one or the other because of the security that brings. Where we are outside our comfort zone is when we have to evaluate a situation and make a decision when our life in on the line.

I have no intention of going out in public until most people stay home and I know how to keep myself safe if I did. My risk factor is higher than a hoar's skirt on Friday night. If I didn't have severe heart damage I would do more shopping. I may anyway when price of the n95 mask come down to 5 bucks each. I have a negative pressure mask but it's half face and negative pressure. People would freak in they saw someone wearing that getup.
