Dr. Faisci warns that you can catch Covid - even from afar
These droplets are suspended in the air instead of falling on the ground.
Since Covid-19 appeared for the first time, scientists have been scrambled to understand the very complex virus, including exactly how it spreads. For several months, the CDC warned that it was mainly disseminated by people-to-person via small respiratory droplets and can also be transmitted in physical contact with it via the droplets. However, in recent months, there has been growing evidence that the virus is airborne. In a new interview withCable,Dr. Anthony Fauci, the main infectious infectious expert of the nation's nation and key member of the Coronavirus Working Group of the White House, confirms that you should absolutely be afraid of aerosol particles.Read on and ensure your health and health of others, do not miss these Without signs that you have already had coronavirus.
The particles are suspended in the air
The Dr. Faisi explains that the aerosol refers to droplets from the respiratory tract, but unlike the large droplets that fall on the ground at a few feet "which represent the recommendation of six feet" - they linger.
"There are particles sufficiently small or in a zone, when you look at the dynamics of the airflow, they do not fall. They hang for several seconds a few minutes so that you do not have that kind of dynamic Where all you have to do is to stay remote, "he explained, adding that this is wheremask Become so important - especially when inside.
"Then the idea that there are aerosols, when you talk to the aerosol physicists who study that, it seems like no question that an element of transmission is the aerosol," he said .
"When you look at some of the episodes, logical studies, such as in a restaurant where you have people sitting far from each other, who could not have been in the range of a droplet, which will be close enough for Transmit that has really been infected. Who is a solid epidemiological suggestion that there is aerosol propagation. "

There is a transition element
While Fuci confirms that the virus is transmitted via Aerosol, it does not believe it is the main way of its spread.
"What we do not know is that the proportion of the level of impact aerosol plays transmission", he continued. "It is likely that it is not the form of major transmission, that the main form is always this type of transmission of permission from a person-to-person in close contact. But the data I see, I believe enough with confidence that there is something - I can not tell you if it is 2%, 5%, 10% - but there is an element of transmission of the aerosol, which I do not think is the dominant form of transmission.
