"Tiny droplets of saliva that are sprayed into the air when people speak may be sufficient to spread coronavirus, according to US government scientists who say the finding could help control the outbreak.

Researchers at the US National Institutes of Health (NIH) in Maryland found that talking released thousands of fine droplets into the air that could pose a risk to others if the speaker were infected with the virus."

Most of us have known this form of disease transmission from about when we were 6 years old

Wonder not why the USA hasn’t won a war in 70 years and they have a prize dick as President
