    I have been thinking of an aerosol as being how it would appear having just been excreted from the respiratory system - that system being wet with mucus and water means the virus particle would come out coated. There is a good chance these particles would be clumped. They may have more difficulty in passing through PPE because they are enveloped in wet mucus but they will have force expelling them.

    Airborne virus particles must mean they have come off surfaces into the air - and may be 'dry' and separate. These would be better able to penetrate PPE as each particle would be very small, but they may not have force, unless propelled by a fan (or similar).

    Whatever the semantics, just don't let the b*ggers inside you.

    You can call it whatever you want. It doesn't make it true. It is not "airborne" by the medical definition of the word. Yes, it can travel through the air...just as a fat man on a trampoline can.

    This.

    Giving false information to scare people in to compliance is a recipe for disaster. Educating people on how it actually spreads and how to properly protect yourself is the way forward.

    Thanks for your post. This will be the last message about how the virus spreads on this thread. I will clean it up when I get a chance and figure it where to put it. Until then everyone should refrain from carrying on this bickering.

    No issue with trailers here. Now if I took that trailer and put it in a park, that'd be a cold day...

    You buy the trailer and we'll provide the 'park'. :smile:

    I know you are smart enough to accept this offer of a free lot, so not saying what the 'park' will be.

    I would think the park in Valencia would be the logical choice. It's been spoken of fondly many time. It's always nice to move to a neighborhood where they like you.

    The first time I went to a trailer park I got to witness my friend have his skull cracked open by a lead pipe by some sh*thead MC members (I have some pretty strong opinions about guys who join MCs as well, with my estimates showing it takes about 3.5 MC members to equal one real man :troll:) and then have the losers try to do the same to me. Luckily this trash got scared that the police were on their way and scrambled like the pack of rats most MCs are comprised of.

    The key other half of this report that is not showing here (issued with this every evening on Provincial Government fb page), is that there is a building number of pending swab test results awaited. There have been many sent off in the last few days, being sent daily, but for two days no results received (or none made public, at least). NegOr authorities seem to be blaming that on backlog in Cebu. The issue though is whilst that backlog of results keeps building, they cannot declare the Province 'Covid-19 free'. At the current rate of results coming in, it will be months before they get through them all. Will we be in some form of lockdown for more months because of this inadequate situation? Let's see.

    who knows when and where it will all end, maybe we should get together and have a big old pray, we can pray to the tooth fairy to stop this CO VID lark or maybe we could buy a book about the Easter bunny and ask him if he is responsible for this pandemic, I guess superman is too under lockdown, same for wonder woman, Batman if he could be trusted might get a bell...Hour after Hour some blare out shyte about some other imaginary entity, that lives in the clouds, and is the root cause for everything that happens and if you are dumb enough to believe the propaganda, that nothing will happen without the blessing of SUPER GUY, everything is because he says so, then all the poverty, disease, cancers, drought, starvation, wars and all the other good stuff is his way of saying...........WTF lads get a sense of humour,I WAS JUST JOKING

    It does seem that the positives are controlled by Gods and the negatives by people.

    Have a typhoon that kills thousands and people think what those victims must have done wrong - plus they thank their God for having been so very kind as to save themselves. It is only the saved lives that are attributed to the God. Cannot lose!
