Dr. Faisci has just said how exactly you will catch Covid
The virus spreads via droplets and aerosols - and asymptomatic people.
Despite the politicization of the coronavirus, it is a long-term reflection on both sides of the driveway that people can transmit diseases to each other - Why would you like to go back when someone sneezed on you? But a sternue is one thing. Thecoronavirus is a particularly sneaky disease because it can be spread by people without symptoms.Dr. Anthony FauciThe first expert in infectious diseases of the nation and the member of the Coronavirus working group spoke to the American University "The Kennedy Political Union presents, the Seminary of Dr. Anthony Fauci" on how Covid-19 is transmitted. Read it, and to cross this pandemic with your healthiest, do not miss theseWithout signs that you have already had coronavirus.
Nearly half of the transmissions come from people with zero symptoms
"We learned a lot from the first days when there was a misinformation mistake that it was something that jumped from an animal to a human and mainly was a zoonotic who just skipped species", A-T- he declares. "So, if you stayed away from a damp market, you're fine, so we learned it. So it's really transmitted from person to the person thought I inefficiently transmitted. Then we discovered No so it is transmitted in a fairly effective manner of man to human. In fact, it is one of the most spectacularly effective and transmitting viruses, as we know, super eprever events. Now, the things that We have also learned are essential, that we did not know the first month or two, are about 40 to 50% of all the infections are asymptomatic. To know, there are a large number of people infected, who have not No symptoms, who do not know they are infected. "
It is transmitted by droplets
"Then we discovered that if you model studies, a substantial proportion of the transmitted infections are actually transmitted from someone without symptoms to a person not infected. We know it is transmitted by the respiratory road. It is transmitted by Droplets. Now be careful because most people think that the droplets everything, when you go, I chew and sneeze, or if you tap. This has been clear now that the droplets breathing out of your mouth when you come out of your mouth when you Talk and get out even more when you sing. So you might feel perfectly well, talk to someone who does not know they are infected and you could have droplets that come out. "

It is transmitted by aerosol
"A classic droplet is the one that if I were here and I was six meters from [someone], and I spoke to him, these droplets would fall on the ground before they reach six or seven feet. However, when you have Aerosols where the particles hang in the air, and this is particularly relevant in the closed spaces, inside, which is the reason why my level of anxiety increases as we arrive at the fall and to the winter, the aerosol can suspend more than a second or two. It can be several seconds or even minutes. And we see that in certain epidemiological situations, one in particular in a restaurant in China where people fall far from the infected index, have been infected, are very likely because the air conditioning recirculated, the aerosol that came out of the mouth of a person who was not symptomatic and that was transmitted. It is therefore a respiratory virus highly transmissible. It's a concern. "
You might be contagious for this long
"It's still evolving," he said. "The more we learn, the more we get more confidence of the support we are going." With regard to the incubation period, he added, "Let's say, if I introduced myself now that the median time for me to get symptoms about five days. The range is two to 14 days. D Agree. Now, then that said that on viral insulation studies, which you start reproducing virus in your nasal pharynx and so you are transmissible, usually a few days before becoming symptomatic. And then for several days. But what we have noticed that some people are symptomatic, but after a few days, you can not isolate the virus of them. And you say, wait a minute always sick. Why can not I isolate the virus? Because What do you see is the effects of infection and inflammation or things like that. And this person may not be transmitted. There is probably probably a support of a few days before becoming symptomatic a few days after you are symptomatic. "

How to avoid Covid-19
"The big question is anything about people who have no symptoms?" said Fauci. "And it's very difficult to study them because you do not know when they were infected. So, if you were studying me today and I have the virus, is it because I was infected yesterday Or, because I was infected six days ago. And it's the thing that bigger studies will be able to provide us with information about it.
