8. Has there been any report on why it's more transmissable? Does it travel farther?

Last longer? Get through masks more easily? Infect with a lower viral load? I'm assuming it's the last. But, to tell the truth, I'm new to DU and have been wanting to ask a question in the Computers group for several days and I can't until I make a certain number of replies, and I haven't found anything I want to talk about. So this is sort of a made up question. Thanks for your indulgence!
