Preliminary research suggests that virus aerosols may also be spread simply by breathing; no sneezes or coughs required!
I'm somewhat heartened by the decrease in daily covid deaths throughout the world. NY is less than half of what it was a couple of weeks ago and quite a few states are now in the single digits. I personally believe it's due to isolation measures, but it's nonetheless comforting that the worst case scenarios have not come to pass.
Estimates about the total number of unreported infections are orders of magnitude different, but it's also true that our area has not been severely hit. My fingers are crossed that it continues as restrictions are lifted.
I'm immunocompromised and will continue to stay home, but I do feel better about grocery stores and take-out from restaurants, just from an odds standpoint.
