Well....first on-line lecture all done and I survived. More importantly so did the class! 100 people logged on. All very polite and kind as I bumbled my way through. The chat was so funny to read!!
The class is on aerosols--so I talked about viruses being in aerosols...the hot news topic. CDC and WHO are in disagreement about whether it is in aerosols or droplets.
Why does it matter? Aerosols will last in the air for hours and travel much further than 6 ft. The Choir practice example points to aerosols + SARS-CoV-2 being a real possibility.
I have done several interviews today about it....also people are asking why I am discouraging surfing. Simple answer-to save lives. Breezy beach air travels further than 6 ft! One infected surfer could be exhaling aerosols with infectious viruses.
It is best not to take a chance. Let's say I am right-people will miss out on a bit of surfing but remain alive, while protecting others. Let's say I am wrong--people will miss a few surfing sessions while protecting many others lives.
Should not be a difficult decision.
