Cynomolgus macaques - the unfortunate golden primate perfect for respiratory virus transmission studies. CoVid was found to be airborne long before the monkeys at the @CDCgov decided it might be.
Not going to bother with diarrhea, except to say Ebola virus has been found in stool samples, and toilet flushing has been amply studied and proven to generate infectious aerosols.
Moving on.
Next, is a study by Dr. @brosseau_lisa. She has forgotten more about airborne transmission than most will learn in 10 lifetimes.
So, the Covid Careful tend to take umbrage to outdoor transmission studies.
Outdoors IS safer. But study after study has shown outdoor transmission.
As do these 2 studies.
Catching Covid Camping.

I deliberately began this thread with white men, because the only countries doing these detailed studies are Asian countries. As is this one.
But every time, a tinge of ethnocentrism creeps into replies. Please keep this in mind :) .
Many don't know that measles is airborne outdoors based on an hour long conversation with a young boy and his family, after the Special Olympics. No CCTV. No credit card tracing. No GPS.
Our first study? July 24–26, 2020. South Korea. South Korea had done an
As I have, & will continue to point out, @nirav_uscdc, they continue to ensure dairy workers are NOT told to wear N95s. Or PAPR as indicated would be more comfortable by @RanuDhillon @sri_srikrishna.
But worn here in their lab. By them.
Aerosols, 3-5 microns, were nebulized into the cows nostrils.
Correction to the study...SOME of those that size will deposit into the Lower Respiratory Tract. Not all. Some will deposit into the Upper Respiratory Tract.
