INDOOR DINING in a nutshell:

⚠️ Is it safe to remove our masks to eat or drink in indoor bars & restaurants & other enclosed spaces? 🤔

NO ❌ #COVID19

2) Why? Because we are certain the virus is an airborne aerosol.

3) This is why 6 feet rule is not enough if indoors and room is not super ventilated.

4) Now that aerosol transmission of the coronavirus is established, the big question is how to disperse aerosols quickly enough. Well, this video explains what is truly needed to clear a room with fresh air. #COVID19

5) Just how much difference can masks make with aerosols and droplets? A friggin ton.

6) How is aerosol different from large droplets? newest aerosol study (CDC journal) indicates that coronavirus is persistent and stable up to 16 hours in stagnant air. Typical air exchange every 20 min to 4 hrs, depending on ventilation. #COVID19
