study on COVID-19 in auditoriums found displacement ventilation minimized infection risk, while natural ventilation had highest spread.
Masks, shorter events, and lower occupancy helped reduce risks.
“this study investigated the airborne transmission of respiratory diseases in the hospital elevator by comparison to the conference room.”
“The results showed that the infection probability in the elevator with 5 min was higher than that in the conference room with 50 min.”
“Just so people reading this know:
When you have covid, you exhale covid particles into the air. Even with just ordinary breathing.
Those particles can then float on the air for hours.”
“Professor Beggs' expert statement made clear what we have known for some time: Covid is an airborne virus, capable of lingering in the air for hours and posing a threat particularly to those who are Clinically Vulnerable.
Yet, the response from the former UK government was, at best, wholly inadequate.”
Oops! Looks like Covid IS airborne, folks.
“All pandemic long, scientists brawled over how the virus spreads. Droplets! No, aerosols! At the heart of the fight was a teensy error with huge consequences…”
