Coronavirus-Spread Comes from More Than the Cough and Sneeze

   The cough and the sneeze are dangerous, but watch for the yawn and the sigh. Watch for the heavy breathing . . . and, perhaps, any breathing at all.
  Coronavirus-spread has its secrets.
   Place your hand in front of your mouth as you breathe. Place it in front of your nose. Feel the moisture. Do we suppose that all the coronavirus spread comes more from coughing and sneezing? Do we suppose only those germs carried out by a cough or a sneeze are harmful, but those from simple breathing are not?
  Now, when you cough or sneeze, the droplets fall straight to the ground. It would only be germs that accompany or separate from the spit that we must worry about hanging in the air -- waiting for the next individual -- unsuspecting -- to pass by and take them into their lungs.
   Virus particles can hang in the air for hours. Your spittle might fall straight to the ground, but germs emitted along with that spittle hang and hang and hang, tendering their danger to all that cross through them.
   I say all this because I have heard it said the disease is transmitted when someone coughs or sneezes and the droplets fly into the mouths or noses of others. I can't see that happening too often. Also, I think of all the hand-to-mouth warnings -- which are good, but they overlook the fact that most transmissions come through the air.
