Yes it could happen and I am in no way saying we should not be diligent and safe but to put out this kind of highly unlikely out come out in public does nothing but spread fear and illogical thoughts among a very gullible public. Could it happen yes! Will it happen, probably not! Be safe, follow guidelines and help each other.

This simulation is not a "cartoon" It's a serious attempt by a group of scientists from various fields of expertise using a supercomputer to simulate spread of virus from a dry cough in a supermarket.
The project involves around 30 researchers, whose specialisations include fluid dynamics, aerosol physics, social networks, ventilation, virology and biomedical engineering. The research is being carried out in conjunction with Essote (the joint municipal authority for social and health services in South Savo), which proposed the research project, as well as infectious diseases specialists from the Finnish Institute for Health and Welfare.

"The next two weeks are extraordinarily important,Dr Birx said. "This is the moment to do everything that you can on the president's guidelines. This is the moment to not be going to the grocery store and not be going to the pharmacy – but doing everything you can to keep your family and your friends safe.”
I guess Dr Birz is spreading fear and illogical thoughts to a gullible public.
