It’s unfortunate some folk still don’t believe in wearing face masks. We won’t go into the details why this is so, because we like to stay out of controversies. However, we believe it’s a scientific fact the coronavirus travels across space between people, and that’s how the infection spreads. So we decided to share five critical signs the coronavirus spreads through air.
The Five Good Reasons Why Face Masks Make Sense
WebMD confirms research points to the virus traveling in aerosols between people. These are microscopic collections of human mucus, our natural organ moisturizer COVID hijacks as taxis. Suitable face masks act as checkpoints they seldom pass through. Therefore, if two people are wearing face masks, it’s highly unlikely the virus could pass between them both.
However, if one or both were not wearing face masks, then the opposite could well apply. Unless it was simply untrue the coronavirus travels that way. But there are five signs the coronavirus spreads through air and we believe they should dispel the argument forever.
The Five Signs Coronavirus Spreads Through Air
1… Cases from super-spreader events where the virus jumps between people across long distances
2… Transmissions between people in separate rooms in quarantine hotels who never met
3… The virus spread is lower in ventilated outdoor areas than in enclosed spaces where people gather
4… Researchers have discovered coronavirus in hospital air filters and building ducts serving treatment rooms
5… There is only limited evidence the coronavirus travels in other ways, for example on clothes, furniture and even food.
Trisha Greenhalgh is professor of primary care health sciences at University of Oxford, northwest of London England. She told WebMD she believes it is case closed the coronavirus travels through air.
We need to stop bickering over this, she argues. ‘We need ventilation front and center, air filtration when necessary, and better-fitting masks worn whenever indoors.’
