Yep. That, unfortunately, is now what we think. And this is why, you know, the W.H.O. and the CDC are all saying that social distancing really, really matters. And that six foot distance really can make a difference. So I talked to a lot of scientists and I said, well, you know, we've been told, you know, coughing and sneezing, you know, that's how droplets get transmitted. And this image was given to me by a virologist, Angela Rasmussen at Columbia. And she said, you know, on a really cold day, when you step outside and you're, you see that fog in the air? She said that's respiratory droplets. And that's why people keep saying six foot distance, six foot distance. Because if I'm already infected and I'm not yet maybe actively coughing, I'm still producing respiratory droplets and I could infect someone without even realizing it.
