      Well, that made me feel a lot better.

          Great visualization. Also a little terrifying.

          Also - anyone else find the sound of spoken Japanese to be pretty nice?

            Droplets that carry the virus are mostly 5-10 microns, they are not fully aerosolized. I'm sure there is an occasional aerosol transmission, but it's a zebra, not a horse.

            OTOH, I'm all for windows.

                The simulations are fascinating. I ask myself however if there was large impact greater than 6 feet wouldn’t we see a lot more infected.... anytime sometime goes to a grocery store or people out biking or running that otherwise self quarantined? We haven’t heard those stories yet have we?
