>"sub micron particles are considered aeresol. They arent really produced in any detectable quantity with normal breathing, though they arent non existant. However unless its humid out they are going to evaporate super fast as well."

Actually sub-micron particles are created in infectious levels with every breath.

@freemo @torresjrjr @NEETzsche @mkljczk @ducheng

Even when all the H2O has evaporated from a particle, there can remain lipids and the protein shell of the virus itself can help keep it viable. This is one of the reasons why variants can become more transmissible, because outer proteins can allow them to survive even when all the water has evaporated. UV light also plays a factor.

>"The point here is that airborne isnt airborne in the same sense as smoke."

The particles are roughly the same size, and can stay in the air the same amount of time, its survivability that makes the difference, not the time it's airborne.

Temporal loops are a common trope in science fiction. A character gets stuck in a loop and remembers each iteration. (e.g., Groundhog Day) However, if a time loop actually occurred, no one would remember the previous loops because everyone's neurons would be reset to the previous point in time along with the rest of all matter and energy. So...

Is it possible that the entire universe is stuck in a time loop?

******************
Anti-vax, anti-mask televangelist dies from COVID-19
*********************

A prominent TV Christian evangelist who often told his followers not to take the vaccine or wear masks and to use quack cures instead, has died after becoming infected with COVID-19 in early November.

He would tell his followers to pray instead of getting jabbed.

Well, I guess those who prayed for him had their prayers answered. They just didn't get the answer they expected.

If President Biden had worn a respirator instead of a cloth mask, he would not have caught bad cold from his grandson.

Where is the Secret Service????

COVID-19 Natural Immunity

The truth is...

If you become infected with the COVID-19 virus and don't recover, you are 11 times less likely to become reinfected.

Just a reminder, a properly worn respirator stops all variants of the COVID-19 virus -- past, present and future.

Respirators are more effective than the vaccine at preventing the spread of the virus, but you should probably do both, along with the other prophylaxis to fully protect yourself.

Turns out there was actually a hand-washing protest in the mid-19th century:

Since the COVID-19 hand-washing mandate went into effect there have been 1,234 deaths due to chafing.

It's impossible to write a program in Pascal that will loop forever.

You have a volleyball without defects. You poke a hole in it. How many holes does it have in it? (excluding the fill valve - assume there is no fill valve)

>it's the same thing as what you watch from a streaming service.

More grammatically correct:
"...it's the same thing that you can watch from a streaming service."
