Elevated carbon dioxide lets Sars-CoV-2 live far longer in droplets | Research | Chemistry World
acidic or alkaline,
potato, potahto🥔🥔
bottom line… it lingers

fascinating though
I assume it’s lingering everywhere🤷🏻♀️
@Lorrrraaaaine There's a good ted talk on plumes and transmission of disease (2018ish). I posted it awhile back (forget when). Related to your post here.🥳
The best way to understand Covid transmission imo is plumes. It's not popular with the Zero Covid crowd, I guess(?), but idgaf. 
@subjacentish why is it not popular? Plumes, aside from being an awesome word (like lingering lol) why the issue🙄
it has recently dawned on me why I was never popular😂😂😂& realized it was by design; my design😇
We’re not for everyone😁😆
@Lorrrraaaaine Yeah some people are born to be leaders and other people seem born to be Cassandras.💀 😆
I think the "Plume" dynamics upset Covid Aware people because it sounds like droplets to them. It sort of is and it sort of isn't. I think, in the early days at least "airborne" meant "Spreads everywhere in the air" and "droplets" meant it "falls out of the air eventually."
Plumes are kind of like some of one and some of the other.
As someone who's absorbed a lot of this ire, I've been told repeatedly exactly what you said, as well as that there's just a lot of anger that when the WHO put out their risk calculator, and it showed that simply putting a HEPA filter in the room did nothing for "short range" transmission it was seen as dismissing filtration. I get the frustration.
I think that idea's going to take a little while to ruminate until more people are comfortable with the idea that a HEPA filter in the room isn't going to stop you from contracting COVID if you're face to face with an infectious person. Swiss cheese is still the best option, no matter how much we all like our silver bullets.
Taken to the extreme, I've seen plenty of people posting pictures of them in a store, with an Aranet, maskless, talking about how great the CO2 levels are. While that's great and all, the first time someone walks by you and sneezes in your face it's not going to do a thing.
