Scientists Ask WHO To Acknowledge Threat Of Airborne Coronavirus Transmission | NBC Nightly News
My concern is the ventilation in the hospital! Just like that movie Outbreak! It spread through the ventilation ducts to the other patients in the hospital! Even though that movie wasn’t true it can happen!
In any fan/Air conditioning system. Home, car, bus, store, post office, restaurant, etc…
Airborne viruses have killed more people than all the wars combined. You’d think people would be begging for masks.
Stay away from hospitals at all costs unless you think you are literally about to die. My sister who’s a nurse told me this.
Lets not test for Drivers Ed. If we don’t know how to drive, then there is no problem!!

David are you HOMOSEXUAL?

Why is this new? Of course it’s airborne!
I gotta say, I guessed all this pretty early on. Just based on how mysteriously easily the flu virus spreads… I know they are very different viruses, but both are respiratory and both mighty small in physical size.
WHO never obtained any Science Data from Wuhan China to identify the virus they frightened the world with , and so why ask WHO anything now ?
You go ahead and ignore them.
@Robert Allain I will look at that. But off the cuff , I doubt greatly that after humans have been on the Earth for a long time, be it millions or any number of generations, that you could ever say that no man was ever before bitten by a BAT and did not get a corona virus infection , per se. So the idea that this is a novel viral infection is IMPOSSIBLE.
And this is why I sneeze down facing the floor so that it doesn’t go up in the air and stays. They really need to show us what happens if we sneeze at a different angle though. Pfft 😅😅
WHO Has to get permission
from 🇨🇳 China first
Meta IV that’s up to us!
@J A C C What is written will come to pass, you can’t stop it. God has spoken it. It will happen. It’s up to you to figure out what to do about in the in-between time.
Meta IV When you’ve read the Bible in the original Sumerian maybe I’ll have some interest in your powers of interpretation. The world is what we make it.
@J A C C smh
Meta IV exactly! SMH. Do you read tea leaves too!
wear a mask! dont be selfish!
take responsibility for your own safety !!!! wear bette3r protective gear and u wont have to worry about others not wearing a mask ……. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PIQnwGlxpRM&fbclid=IwAR2gva7tqJwjUAIgiNLVOeBY0a01T2IMMJtwhD81FVmNRLydqhV9
Keep wearing your mask Dumbo 🤡

We knew this back in April.
Actually, back in late January😷
BT I stand by what I said as Dr. This article was updated on April 1 to reflect new evidence that aerosols may drive COVID-19 transmission beyond the context of heath care settings. We did not have the data in January that it was airborne we knew it was droplets which is something different. Anyway-The study described in an article was published in The New England Journal of Medicine on March 17. This article was originally published on March 13.
The novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 can survive in the air for several hours in fine particles known as aerosols, according to preliminary research.
The coronavirus, which causes the respiratory infection COVID-19, can be detected up to 3 hours after aerosolization and can infect cells throughout that time period, the study authors found. However, the study, first posted March 10
@Lion Man hope everyone acting rational and stable to stay healthy
That’s probably how some People will be coming down with it, being without an explanation!
Listen to these IDIOT’S IT’S A FREE COUNTRY sure it is, BUT YOU DON’T HAVE THE RIGHT TO MAKE other people sick When you don’t take protective measures. You can make everyone else sick.
WHO has been telling people to wear a mask. Only Stupid Ameican has been resisting.
Yes it’s a free country stupid. It’s not free country if you jeopardize people’s lives. Please educate your self dude. We all know this a FC. It’s not free CT if you going to be responsible for people s lives by spreading the virus because your ego gets in a way. Pl ASE, America be smart.
By some of their thinking, why not then do I not have the Right to go into Walmart Naked??? Well?? It’s a Free Country, Right?? So then it’s fine to go shopping at Walmart totally devoid of Clothing?? No Mask, No Clothes, same Freedom Argument!!
You’d probably get no argument from that yokel.
Yup exactly. Go to Walmart in your Birthday suit.
Priceless. LMAO…
It’s a no brainer.

I feel it is because of second hand smoke laws, that those who opt out of a mask should be supported. I do not smoke, in fact I get sick when I smoke. However, this is a free country and if one is controlled in such a fashion than another war against freedoms can be waged on yet another front. We all die, to blame a cigarette is pointless.
I should be allowed to walk into stores bare naked! It is a free country!
Please Fauci already lied about this once and the who
Won’t acknowledge Hong Kong as separate from China no baa here
I live in a city of 28,000 people. We have 56 known cases and 1 death. I was at a gas station an hour ago and the customers made the place look like a retirement facility. I was the only person wearing a mask and social distancing. Those folks acted like everything is normal.
the truth about wearing a mask https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PIQnwGlxpRM&fbclid=IwAR2gva7tqJwjUAIgiNLVOeBY0a01T2IMMJtwhD81FVmNRLydqhV9
Most of the countries knew all this back in February except USA. Don’t blame on WHO or Dr. Fauci on your stupidity. Specially Chaotic GOV of yours.
The “green spray demo“ is USELESS at best – but probably does the opposite of what you are trying to do – it shows people that science is using stupid demos to scare us, it is impossible to see those green things- it does not visualize it on the screen, it tells people that science seems fairly sketchy if they are basing recommendations on this- you can’t see anything unless you know to look for it!!!
scientist knew the size of the virus average 100 nano metre, surely they resist gravity and up in the air everywhere….
As soon as my family told me in Italy BEFORE who would declare a pandemic , I knew this was airborne…and my gut tells me a mask is a small price to pay…to stay safe. Social distancing , did that before covid19 so I’m good there.
The WHO has zero credibility. If it was not for them and their malicious Chinese Communist Party influence, we would not be in this mess.
No one can do their own thing without affecting others
It’s all the fraud of the century. Not a single verifiable death from this “virus”.
*It’s always good to ask questions of a ‘Squidbillie’*
Looks like the US is looking for an excuse. Vietnam stayed at home, does social distancing, and has had no deaths because of a fast response. South Korea said they understood the US has problems with medical supplies, but they followed the transmissions, and social distancing has worked for them. It is up to each of us to do our part. wear a mask, social distance.
This is serious… Lord help us
Wonder why China didn’t come up with a deadlier one?
I’m a 41 yr old construction worker and I could have told you this months ago. It must be airborne if it’s as infectious as they claim.
I want to ask the scientist I have been wearing masks and I’ve been having famous spells I think they’re not safe to wear for long periods time
then wear it when your out and take it off when your not.. it’s not rocket science.
It was Airborne, All the time. They knew
A mask ain t gon save you
Yup folks, FACT CHECK.
I know one thing you will not win the Power Ball nor Little Lotto, but you are for sure to get CoVID19 99.99%.
You don’t need to pay to play how about that.
LMAO tho!
But… But… It doesn’t work (The flu will go away in April.), does anybody else has any other suggestion since Bunker Boy doesn’t?
Change the title to “scientists wants to be relevant in fake crisis”
NBC IS TRASH MEDIA
Tell them to acknowledge the new plague in China, before the next pandemic conveniently prevents us from getting work done for another year: https://twitter.com/globaltimesnews/status/1279758401552056320
Schools should remain closed, There are younger, older family for them to take it home to. Do not our kids mean more to us. Who is in control of our kids, Schools, Some administrators they will never meet, OR THE PARENTS!!

Tedros of WHO is incompetent and a liar.
said half of the 130.000 death with Corona virus
Awsome
Only the USA has this problem with politicization of mask wearing.
We can’t even get our president to acknowledge this is real. It’s airborne. Prepare for the worst.
Trump has ran the WHO off. Your on your own.
AIR SCRUBBERS, PARTITIONS, AND PROPER VENTILATION.
CARRIES ON YOUR SHOES AND YOU CAN KICK IT BACK UP TOO.
I love how they always interview Liberals to ask them about their fears. They are the most terrified people.
Dr fauci and WHO are dumb, I knew it was airborne several months before they did…
Feelso sorry for all the students who don’t get to go awy to college this fall. They work sooooo hard to get into these colleges nd now just stuck at home.
Hasnt it been airborne since the beginning? I feel like the news is repeating itself since April.
If you pander Disney , Nike , Walmart and the REST of you jerks … we will Boycott ! All of us ” consumers Matter “… not just black and Chinese ! areyoush-tingme.com join the movement !
When the world finds out the truth, they are literally going to lose their minds. People loves lies the world tells them and refuses any and all truth from shattering their false sense of security. Reminding the world daily and perpetuating new fears is the what continues to hold those that have been taken captive by evil. Wake up people! The coronavirus is not real. COVID 19 is a psychological operation: MK Ultra, Cointelpro… Nothing new. For many, it will take the gilloutines coming out before they become willing to listen and accept the truth. Wake up! Phase 2 of the New World Order is underway! WAKE UP!
Yes, I definitely agree. Most people are so programmed by the news, that they don’t even bother to do their own research. I’m really glad that we have the internet to use as a platform for truth.
Viruses are not contagious! Here is a good link that everyone should watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s7eyZUu6rTo&list=LL5nzgDUlunqRQZIE3ujWPsA&index=9&t=0s
This is an hoax event that was planned out by our government years ago. Even former presidents warned of a coming pandemic. How did they know this?
Fcuk the W.H.O
End of time the human race contaminated here on Earth what’s we got next WW3 🏹🚀🌠🇷🇺🇺🇸🇨🇳🇰🇷 radiation poisoning😷
Trump is the best president of the United States people ever seen but he should get rid of fuchi he is not a good dission man
