RE: WHO - Possibility of Airborne Transmission8 Jul 2020 14:03
Troublesome, as far as I'm concerned, WHO are playing catch up. I always thought the dangers of transmission by air were obvious, so to ask people to shield and self-isolate in lock-down, and then to go out onto their front doorsteps, all together, to clap, (an action which disperses air), in wind, and breeze, and close-proximity in some streets, was outright stupid. A neighbour two doors up from us had Covid19. He was out in his garden, coughing incessantly, and my family retreated in from our garden. He's ok now but he was marched into the ambulance by fully kitted-out medics. Our garden is lower than our neighbour's and we have the sea and a park at the top of the road, so the wind comes down from the top of the road (from his garden). If you can smell a neighbour's barbecue, what else are you breathing in? We need a vaccine, that's all there is to it, I'm afraid, and the sooner the better.
