The debate on how an infectiousCoronavirus particles in the air Can be containing scientists, physicians and shocked researchers for months. And while it has been proven that the new coronavirus can becomeSuspended in tiny droplets sent flying in the air When these infected coughs, sneezing, screaming or singing, it has been difficult to prove how infectious droplets are infectious. But a new study on the medical center of the University of Nebraska proves for the first time thatSimple acts of speech and breathing canFree microscopic infectious particles in the air.

The study, which has not yet been examined by peers, has been led byJoshua Santapia, PhD, Associate Professor at the Medical Center of the University of Nebraska. He told AFP his research teamTaken air samples of five rooms of six civided patients in bed. When they spoke and, in some cases, coughing, at about one foot on their beds.

They then tested the particles less than five micrometers and determined the presence of RNA SARS-COV-2, the virus that causes Covid-19. This means that when the sick patients simply breathed and speak, they could infect those whoinhale the same air they expelled. Santapia and its team concluded that "Aerosols containing SARS-COV-2 RNA exist in particulate modes produced during breathing, vocalization and cough." They add that "the infectious nature of the aerosol collected in this study further suggests that the airborne transmission of COVID-19 is possible."

"On the basis of what we know about other diseases and what we know so far on Sars-Cov-2, I think we can assume that if the virus is" infectious in aerosols ", we can then be infected by breathable, "Virus Expert in Air TransmissionLinsey Marr, PhD, professor at Virginia Tech, told AFP. (She was not involved in this study from Nebraska University.)

More alarming, as indicated by AFP, is the fact that these microcharvesTravels much bigger distances that large droplets due to their light weight and also suspend longer. On July 16,Anthony Fauci, MD, had an interview withMark Zuckerberg On Facebook Live and explained the difference in these droplets.

"There are different types of droplets," said Fuci. "Most droplets, when people talk and see that few spray comes out, are greater than five micrometers. These are the kind that they are pretty heavy, mark, they are no longer three feet, at the Most of the six feet. That's why we say, when you're outside, stay at least six feet separation from someone. "

He continued: "There are other droplets less than five micrometers. These are the ones that can" aerosolize ". Aerosolize means, instead of getting out of your mouth and falling from three to six feet, it may be to float around the air and stay in the air for a period of time. "
