not that iâve bothered to check this in detail but my rough model is that spread continues to be driven by people talking indoors (well, spitting), and theoretically it would stop if people stopped doing that. of course getting people to not talk is easier said than done

I mean isnât âwear a maskâ a much easier way to achieve the same thing? (Granted we didnât do a good job of spreading that message either...)
