[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 2471571, member: 30902"] No, unlike the Flu it is not an airborne disease, it does spread via the aerosol route through droplets being exhaled by others particularly when coughing or sneezing. If it were airborne like the flu the entire country would have been exposed within the first six or eight weeks. It's only spreading through direct contact with infected mucous/saliva from a cough/sneeze etc. Testing shows you must be in very close, intimate contact to absorb enough of those droplets to become infected yourself. Early on there were some pretty good tests run showing that in an office/school type environment those droplets could spread no further than about 20-25' and they are heavier than air so they then fall to the ground. Fortunately as well, unlike the Flu there's little to know evidence suggesting casual spread from surfaces either. Apparently when those droplets dry out the virus is glued down and trapped in what is left. [/QUOTE]
