Fascinating.

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?

We already have. Tons of people have no idea how or why they got infected.
