People infected with COVID-19 may spread the disease when they speak and breathe, not only when they let out a hearty cough.
Although these modes of transmission could help to explain how asymptomatic and mildly infected people fuel the virus' spread, researchers don't yet know whether tiny particles expelled in breath infect more people than large droplets spewed through coughs, experts told Live Science.
"There's a possibility" that COVID-19 primarily spreads via fluid particles less than 0.0002 inches (5 microns) in diameter, known as aerosols, which can be emitted when people speak," said William Ristenpart, a professor of chemical engineering at University of California, Davis. "We just don't know," he said.
If it saves one life then please stop talking and breathing
Even though we just don't know we thought we would add to the hysteria with more panic propaganda
