Thank you but that report deals with virus viability on different surfaces after (a simulated) cough or sneeze. There was an early paper on Sars-Cov-2 that claimed that after a cough/sneeze it could hang about in the air longer than previosly believed. It was wrong - they had used a nebuliser to aerosolize the virus to a level much smaller than the particulate size from a human cough/sneeze. In the long run Chad might be proven correct but currently there is nothing to demonstrate such. Her continual pushing of an, as yet, unproven hypothesis is adding to the fog clouding the known facts |  |

Balderdash. The experts are fairly consistent but will adapt to changes in data. It's the non- experts in field and politicians who are causing the issues. Edit. The word "changes"looks better with the letter g. [Post edited 12 Apr 2020 14:06]

Why do you need to abuse others it reeks of arrogance To Reflect your own opinions... As far as a vaccine there is no evidence so far that scientists can produce one for this particular virus either. Of course you may be proved right in the long run, but in the meantime why add to the fog of information with unproven theories ;) Or is it ok for you as the self proclaimed spokesperson for the whole of the rest of the forum? |  | |  |

Surprising isn’t it, one would almost think all those studies and reports about the extent and persistence of potential aerosol transmission are correct. |  | |  |

Given the first word in that report (that SB kindly provided the link to) is aerosol it seems you didn't read very far. Also within the first couple of paragraphs it says: ‘SARS-CoV-2 remained viable in aerosols throughout the duration of our experiment (3 hours)’ Which is the very report I have referred to as well as the evidence on coughs and sneezes reaching approx 6 and 8 metres respectively from the MIT study including photographic evidence. In fact (despite their misinformation about no need for travel restrictions or checks - which allowed the virus to spread catastrophically) WHO themselves clearly recognise the dangers of the virus being aerosolised in their advice to medical staff, despite insisting it is not airborne and of course only suggesting a 1 metre safe distance. That’s experts for you, I know for a fact a cough can travel further than 1 metre and WHO say droplet infection is one of the main transmission routes so go figure. Given you are saying the reports are wrong perhaps you could provide evidence rather than unproven hypothesis |  | |  |

Oh dear God. Enough. It’s not an unproven theory, it’s basic info that people like you and controversial seem to completely fail to understand. and you’re not alone unfortunately. There are only two ways this ends - It disappears for no real reason, or everyone develops immunity, either through a vaccine or by getting it. What part of that do you not get? Assuming the first in unlikely, then if there is no treatment that can stop the most severe effects, then you’d better hope for a vaccine, otherwise we’ll all have to take our chances and hope for the best. Or live in a prison for the rest of our lives. All that this lockdown is doing is suppressing it for now. Not for ever. Allowing scientists to attempt a vaccine, or treatment. And allowing the health service to expand capacity. Countries like New Zealand with very low transmission rates are no different to us - they will eventually all get it if no vaccine is developed, unless they stay cut off from the entire world for ever. He’s not the self proclaimed spokesperson, he’s just stating facts. This cannot be defeated by anything other than science. |  | |  |
