You get it, you show no signs for days but can be infectious. You go out cycling with no mask, spreading the virus even more than a person walking. You'll need to explain how that works. When I'm cycling I never touch anything but my bike, and the's nobody else near me in the road. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spidermike007 Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 How is someone getting on a bicycle putting people in harms way? This virus is NOT airborne. And if someone had Covid symptoms they would not be on a bike ride. So, how are they making it harder on people, or putting people at risk? People should be allowed to recreate. Bicycling by it's very nature consists of automatic social distancing. Sure, it would be better if they wear a mask. I bike regularly, and I wear a mask. Not for my own health. But, to make the Thai people feel more secure. This ignorant panic and zombie mentality has to stop. It is not healthy for society. There is barely any Covid here. It is burned out. Let it go. Let people get on with their lives. Let the people go back to work. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ventenio Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 how about THIS....not only is is NOT airborne, it can't hurt anyone while they are exercising. nobody can get the virus while exercising. here's the thing about virus discussions.......number 1, we are not doctors so even if you say something that might be "right," nobody will believe you. secondly, you do what you want, i'll do what i want. you don't care about me, i don't care about you. waste your time helping people you do care about. but back to covid, the illuminati is ready to release the next virus and then world war 3. and then world war 4. we'll be busy for the next 40-years 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who is in charge of selecting the lucky few allowed to go to the beach. For 6 weeks I've stayed at home except for food run. No beaches, no biking......Why?

Can you imagine the costs that are created by people who don't care about laws? Everyone has to pay for it. I don't think that YOU have bad intentions. But there is a lot of effort necessary to enforce the laws because some people ignore them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Respiratory droplets and an airborne disease are two completely different things. There is a staggering amount of ignorance about this disease. The distinction between droplets that can travel a few feet and an aerosol that remains in the air is huge. Therefore a cyclist would be at far greater risk of becoming infected, than he would be of spreading the disease unless he was symptomatic and coughing or sneezing immediately within the path of pedestrians. From the WHO study of over 70,000 cases. Respiratory infections can be transmitted through droplets of different sizes: when the droplet particles are >5-10 μm in diameter they are referred to as respiratory droplets, and when then are <5μm in diameter, they are referred to as droplet nuclei.1 According to current evidence, COVID-19 virus is primarily transmitted between people through respiratory droplets and contact routes.2-7 In an analysis of 75,465 COVID-19 cases in China, airborne transmission was not reported.8 https://www.who.int/news-room/commentaries/detail/modes-of-transmission-of-virus-causing-covid-19-implications-for-ipc-precaution-recommendations Another example of an airborne pathogen is anthrax. It is a fine mist and stays in the air for a significant amount of time, can travel some distance and is deadly. It is a bacterial disease (which Covid is not) and infects the body when a person inhales anthrax spores. The difference between spores and droplets is significant. The virus that causes COVID-19 is mainly transmitted through droplets generated when an infected person coughs, sneezes, or speaks. These droplets are too heavy to hang in the air. They quickly fall on floors or surfaces. You can be infected by breathing in the virus if you are within 1 metre of a person who has COVID-19, or by touching a contaminated surface and then touching your eyes, nose or mouth before washing your hands.

Trujillo Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 This is the kind of fear-mongering that's really damaging the fabric of society and will harden the reentry into normalcy. In short, viruses are transmitted only with a certain "load" of viral matter. Exhaled breath in open spaces do not carry the necessary load to infect another even if you are standing right next to someone. There's plenty of data on this. Examination shows that nearly all cases of infection were indoor situations. And it's interesting to see people point to "the law." There is no law requiring anyone to wear a mask in public. Private enterprises can require patrons to wear a mask or don a tinfoil hat, if they insist. But here we are with the "us against them" mentality on an issue that has no public health benefit and isn't even required. As the number come out on the virus, more and more we see that the threat is less and less than initially thought. But we continue to hammer a fire hose of water on a building that stopped burning hours ago. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
