        Thanks, just had a read. Isn’t a significant conclusion also that contact with an infected person needs to be sustained (and close) for transmission, so transient contact (eg shopping) unlikely to be a significant risk?

        Japanese cluster research found that 80% don’t infect others. Transmission is most likely to occur in places which are simultaneously crowded, poorly ventilated, and where people talk closely (or sing or talk loudly). Of course, based on Japanese soc behaviour (eg no handshakes)

        seriously? 5 years? Respiratory virus goes into your body mostly through mouth and nose, so put a filter above them, good or bad it will help. Common sense

        Common sense doesn't always work in science. We deal with facts. Facts are obtained through experiments 😅
