Rajakeeyam Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 So wearĀ š·Ā or donāt step out. Airborne transmission of the novel coronavirus is highly virulent, and could be the dominant route for the spread of COVID-19, according to a study which assessed the progression of the pandemic in three major epicentres across the world.Ā Scientists, including Mario J Molina -- the recipient of the 1995 Nobel Prize in Chemistry -- assessed the transmission pathways of COVID-19 by analysing the trend and mitigation measures used in the three epicentres of the disease -- Wuhan in China, New York City in the US, and Italy.Ā The researchers, including those from the University of California San Diego in the US, expressed concern that the World Health Organisation (WHO) for a long time only emphasised the prevention of contact transmission, and largely ignored the importance of the airborne transmission route for the novel coronavirus.Ā Based on the study, published in the journal PNAS, they said airborne transmission, "particularly via nascent aerosols," is highly virulent and represents the dominant route for the transmission of this disease.Ā According to the findings, "the difference with and without mandated face covering represents the determinant in shaping the trends of the pandemic."Ā The researchers said this protective measure significantly reduced the number of infections.Ā They believe that the airborne transmission route is highly virulent and dominant for the spread of COVID-19.Ā "Even with normal nasal breathing, inhalation of virus-bearing aerosols results in deep and continuous deposition into the human respiratory tract, and this transmission route typically requires a low dose," they explained. https://m.dailyhunt.in/news/india/english/news18+english-epaper-newseigh/airborne+transmission+may+be+the+dominant+route+of+covid+19+spread+says+study-newsid-n190866472?s=a&ss=pd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kurnool NTR Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 ItsĀ siblings SARS and MERS ( Middle eastern respiratory syndrome) too are highly contagious air borne diseases.Ā Ā It is a common sense that any covering on your face significantly reduces the release of virus to the external atmosphere. However a mask cannot stop the entry of virus into healthy person unless it is N95 mask.Ā I donāt understand why authorities forgot this point.Ā Ā Ā Ā Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should be sufficient before N95 production ramps up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
