Not exactly. Airborne diseases are small and stay in the air for a long time and can travel w/ air currents. Airboune shyt are so small that they can come out of a person just by exhaling. Droplets are heavier and don't stay in the air long. Droplets almost immediately fall when a person coughs, sneezes and talks.

So what this means is there is nothing we can do until we get a cure, or they start Mass producing n95 and above masks For everyone.

:jbhmm: Questions for those who have been following proper protocol this whole time:

what's your long term plans? I don't see us having a legit vaccine for 18 months, I also think we are going to have at least 2 more waves of infections

I like most people have a mix of family and friends who are varying in their responses some are taking this seriously some think it's not even a big deal. The ones who don't take seriously are starting to get annoyed by how serious am taking it, I've had to decline several invitations to gatherings and here in a couple of weeks will have to decline a invitation to a wedding (which was made months before this started)

My job is giving us a extension until mid August and then they want everyone back but will let people request extensions (which I will)

I'm relatively healthy, no underlying conditions.
I'm not going anywhere but the grocery store and barber shop. I plan on only going to the barber early in the morning, before a crowd arrives. It'll be the old heads in there and me lol.

I'm not going to Thanksgiving dinner or Christmas. One of my brothers is reckless and I have a feeling he's gonna give my parents this shyt. He goes to their house often. Meanwhile I haven't seen my parents since March, outside of stopping by in my car to wave and talk from the drive way while they're on the porch.

N95 mask, eyewear/faceshield/ gown/ hair net/gloves/ shoe covers.... Shoe covers are optional.

Negative pressure rooms

Just a stricter Droplet Precaution

Negative pressure isolation is for Airborne precautions breh.

Droplet is just 6 feet distancing.

Also COVID is a enhanced contact precautions too just like C Diff

Masks less then N95 can be effective too.

Try and spit through a surgical mask...


Covering your mouth and nose is definitely effective in preventing you from spreading air particles. They aren’t effective in protecting you though. That’s why I said you need n95 and higher. (You all can cop these on eBay too)
