The thing is, though, Covid-19 doesn't cause coughing in asymptomatic cases.
I had no cough before developing fever and muscle pains, and only a very mild cough afterwards. Are you suggesting that asymptomatic cases are not infectious?
Likewise, according to the article, "nobody there was coughing or sneezing".
- kharms 7y agoYou ever breathe out on a cold winter day? Your breath is humid.
- Reason077 7y agoExactly! But I wouldn't describe this humidity as "droplets", like you would produce from coughing or sneezing.
- untog 7y agoI might not describe it that way either, but do medical professionals describe it that way?
- James_Henry 7y agoIt's not just large droplets that seem to carry the virus but also aerosolized droplets that travel farther when you cough or sneeze and that are emitted from talking and singing.
- Reason077 7y agoYes, exactly my point.
- nokcha 7y agoTalking and singing produce respiratory droplets and aerosols. See https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/Jnq2A7A7ytgttQ5Ek/covid-transmission-by-talking-and-singing https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/Jnq2A7A7ytgttQ5Ek/covid-tran... and the references cited therein.
