Can Corona virusses travel with the wind? (Aerosols, March 2020)

from Podcasts 4 Brainport, featured by Radio 4 Brainport, 747AM and DAB+ · host Podcasts 4 Brainport

Is social distancing of 1.5 meter adequate to avoid Corona infections? According to an alarming MIT paper, the corona virus may be carried by much smaller particles than the heavy droplet assumed thus far. The 1.5 meter norm appears to have been based om models for tuberculose, but COVID behaves differently.  At Radio 4 Brainport we ask an expert in air flows, Professor Bert Blocken, about whether air flows pose an unprecedented risk in the spraed of the Virus. Photo: 2019 archive photo of Jean-Paul Linnartz interviewing Bert Blocken. This interview on Radio 4 Brainport was recorded in March 2020, and one of the first to address the risk of aerosols.
