https://science.ScienceMag.org/content/368/6498/1422… Has a worrisome conclusion: #SARSCoV2 can be spread as an aerosol by asymptomatic individuals. The virus behaves a bit like 2nd-hand smoke. (Discussed in @ScienceMagazine podcast by @boron110.)
Perhaps being in public w/o a mask will eventually be treated like public smokers.

August 9, 2020Older Children Spread the Coronavirus Just as Much as Adults, New Study Finds – The New York Times
August 9, 2020QT:{{”
Children under 10 were roughly half as likely as adults to spread the virus to others, consistent with other studies. That may be because children generally exhale less air — and therefore less virus-laden air — or because they exhale that air closer to the ground, making it less likely that adults would breathe it in.
Even so, the number of new infections seeded by children may rise when schools reopen, the study authors cautioned. “Young children may show higher attack rates when the school closure ends, contributing to community transmission of Covid-19,” they wrote. Other studies have also suggested that the large number of contacts for schoolchildren, who interact with dozens of others for a good part of the day, may cancel out their smaller risk of infecting others.
