Stay at least two metres away from other people who do not wear a mask, lest they speak to you and infect you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricTh Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 (edited) LOL. There's nothing 'breaking' about this. Most of us knew about that months ago. That's why wearing masks helps to prevent the spread. Edited May 16, 2020 by EricTh 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"their likely role in spreading" - so it is likely, but not confirmed. Please correct the headline. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, nothing new at all, just common sense. This is the way you get influenza and colds. Just nobody cares, it is not hyped up, despite the fact that influenza kills quite many. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Up until now it was widely accepted that coughing or sneezing would pass a Virus on through water droplets spray only now is it proven to be transmitted through talking as well. Anyway just info personally I wonder if breathing will also transmit the Virus as well?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
