A Good Way To Visualize How This Virus Spreads In The Air Is.....

to watch how smoke from a cigarette acts as it is blown into the air.

At least you can see and smell the smoke. The virus is invisible and as a result - more insidious and much more dangerous to our health.

People who are not exhaling the smoke from a cigarette simply don't blow their breath out that way.

More to the point, not very many people are currently being exposed to joggers.

I disagree with Grant about being forced to shake people's hands, although it wasn't as easy to turn a handshake down back then. Mythbusters had a segment on sneezing too. Elbow is best, but still gross.



I miss Mythbusters. I wish the Science Channel would run a marathon - I would be all over that.
