Question: Would a large, heavy-breathing person with more lung capacity spread the virus faster than a small person?

Young children being shorter (on average) than adults is one theory (probably one of several factors) of why they may acquire or spread the infection less efficiently.

And if the virus spreads from airborne droplets, and if some are asymptomatic and not coughing or sneezing, are they still a danger?
-
Exhalation spreads some aerosols. Forceful exhalation spreads more. So it would seem to me that it's just a lesser degree of risk, the fewer times someone sighs, gulps, hiccups, gasps, yells,, etc. Wearing a mask would help against this.

Dang! Now were talking REAL science!
this apparently is an engineering problem, NOT a medical one. Question: does this now mean that I am an expert? -
Yes. I've been saying computer programming and engineering is becoming more like biology since the 1980s.

It wouldn’t be a direct correlation because there are so many factors....but I would love if someone from
#Data#DataScientist twitter to plot this and see if there’s statistical significance. Please tag@ScottAdamsSays and I if you do. -
I'm too busy to do this right now, but I might have time this week, if I remember.

It’s more reasonable to think a society that talks too much would spread it more too

Because of the droplet trajectory there is more chance that droplets end up on people when they are taller. Taller people would need greater social distance.

Meaning Dutch would need greater social distancing than South Koreans.
