As above.
I have just Googled “Is Covid19 transmitted in the air”, and to my astonishment, I get the impression that scientists are still not sure if Covid19 can be spread by the wind or not.!!!!:banghead::rolleyes:

Why is there so much in Wales then, why has Herefordshire moved to T1 as it’s east of Wales ?

Prevailing winds from the West and Atlantic etc ???

You take life and my posts to seriously old fella. Chill. Always see irony in anything posted on a forum. It generally helps with ones personal mental health and blood pressure when looking in on these silly social media platforms. No fear a turn to easterly winds will blow it all to Cornwall and Skeggy will be covid free.

Basically the answer is "No". But there is some question on how far it can travel in air conditioned areas. Poorly ventilated indoor areas such restaurants, gyms, cafes, pubs and religious establishments and the home are the places where the virus is most actively circulating.

And so, at least here in Wales, the f^ckwit in chief - Mr Drakeford to you - is going to allow religious attendance and schooling... :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

This article is worrying also:-
It follows the analysis of the UK's Nervtag scientific advisory group which found that the new British strain of coronavirus was 70% more transmissible than the previous variant of the virus. They calculate it increases the R number by 0.4. The virus's name is VUI-2020/12/01.

There is a huge difference in the infectivity of different viruses over distance and density. I don’t believe there is any evidence that its infectivity is anywhere something like F&M over long distances

The higher a strain of virus is in respiratory tract the less harmful to individuals it will be. But will more easily be spread as closer to outside of body.
More deadly strains prevailed as were confined by lockdowns /restrictions....
Virus just circulates among the very sick and those caring for them etc
Virus starts circulating among general population... can't rely on making people very sick(coughing hard to spread from deep in body)
So evolves into a more easily spread less harmful strain.

Really? try listening to a lecture from Dr John Lee(pathologist and epidemiologist) on the founder strain and how it pertains to C19.
There is much other literature on the subject too.

Or just throw the word Trump at people, like he has anything to do with epidemiology.
