New preprint on aerosol transmissibility of SARS-CoV-2. Methods include nebulizer studies from 4 different labs. Results are uhh... something.




quote:
Infectious SARS-CoV-2 was detected at all timepoints during the aerosol suspension stability experiment (Figure 2). As shown in Figure 2a, a minor but constant fraction of the SARS-CoV-2 virus maintained replication-competence at all timepoints performed, including when sampled at 16 hours of aerosol suspension. This resulted in a remarkably flat decay curve when measured for infectivity, and failed to provide a biological half-life
...

Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) imaging of SARS-CoV-2 revealed virions that were heterogenous in shape, either ovoid (Figure 3A) or spherical (Figure 3B). The minor:major axis ratio of oval-shaped virions was approximately 0.7, which is consistent with prior SEM analyses of SARS-CoV-2. Airborne SARS-CoV-2 maintained the expected morphologies, size and aspect ratios up to 16 hours. Specifically, virions aged for 10 min (Figure 3C, D) or 16 hours (Figure 3E, F) were similar in shape and general appearance to virions examined prior to aerosolization, which is consistent with the retention of replication-competence.
...

These data suggest that SARS-CoV-2 generally maintains infectivity when airborne over short distances, in contrast to either comparator betacoronavirus. Results of the aerosol suspension experiments suggest that SARS-CoV-2 is persistent over longer periods of time than would be expected when generated as a highly respirable particle (2 μm MMAD).
...

Collectively, this preliminary dataset on the aerosol efficiency and persistence of SARS-CoV-2 suggest that this virus is remarkably resilient in aerosol form, even when aged for over 12 hours, and reinforces the conclusions reached in earlier studies of aerosol fitness by others. Aerosol transmission of SARS-CoV-2, whether through direct respiratory droplet transfer or fomite generation, may in fact be a more important exposure transmission pathway than previously considered. Our approach of quantitative measurement of infectivity of viral airborne efficiency complemented by qualitative assessment of virion morphology leads us to conclude that SARS-CoV-2 is viable as an airborne pathogen.

so basically the study made some tiny corona droplets and checked how long it took them to degrade. but it doesn't provide much insight into how common a method of transmission this is. i would think that being around someone coughing or talking, or picking the virus up from a surface would be more likely than getting it from walking into a bunch of floating virus mist

e: also, it's worth pointing out that this is one study that hasn't been peer reviewed. if there were a similar study about a promising new treatment, people would be climbing over each other to point that fact out. but since this study suggests a bad thing everybody buys into it uncritically

One good thing:
We tried a subscription to the YMCA two years ago. The Y is popular, but my kids are super clinically ADHD, and they just couldn't handle the crowds. We signed up for classes, the classes were a mess: No communication about where to meet, frequently didn't have my kids on the signup list for classes we paid for. We signed them up for a gymnastics class which was taught by a person with their leg in a cast who constantly complained my kids were too active for them to keep up with. Going there was literally the worst experience I've had in the last 3 years, every time I went.

We let our membership expire and just exercised them in the giant backyard known as Washington State with great results.

My in-laws, who are cool but often give gifts that assume my kids are not developmentally delayed when it comes to busy situations, got us all YMCA memberships. Then they began complaining we never used them.

I used the pandemic as a way to get them to cancel the memberships without having to bring up how it is literally my own personal Hell, which would offend them greatly for Boomer reasons, and would also require mentioning my kids' developmental delays which I don't like to do to people who actively deny they exist.

So, yay pandemic, I guess? I obv feel bad saying that.

CDC says it's r0 5.7 now.

I also see the major news outlets are using the CDC airborne study that showed one person sitting next to a vent/fan can infect almost everyone that it reaches. Makes sense now if this really can live that long.

That raises more questions to me. Were these preppers that actually followed through staying in their bomb shelter instead of parading their brodozers around protesting over haircuts?

If not, how have they been getting food if nobody has left in months? Grocery delivery? Dozens of Doordash deliveries?

I've been going once a week because I am physically incapable of getting everything on my dang list. Either I forget something important, or they're just plain sold out of what I need. I'm more annoyed with myself than the stores, but still. I'm fairly sure my boyfriend and I have already been infected and just shown no symptoms though. He's working on the floor of a retail store, and while I'm in an office I'm still sitting next to my co-worker who thinks any Covid vaccine would trace us via blutooth for the rest of our lives and that 5G is causing this whole mess. So I'm fairly sure he's not taking normal precautions. Obviously, I'm not assuming I've gotten it, but I think it's a fair bet.

I read the paper. Their test was conducted with the same size aerosols produced by normal human breathing. No one has to even cough to shed the virions.

It also feels if it was as infectious to such a degree, we would be in a way, way worse position than we are right now given how long you can be contagious with zero symptoms. The predicted r0 would be through the roof, rather than <4, which is still where I believe the upper end of the scale lies.

This is the last number I heard as well but particles that small probably are not coming out of breathing.... You would need to put a liquid suspension of the virus in like a nebulizer.... I dunno just trying to stay sane.

I hadn’t seen that, well that’s definitely not a good thing.

I’m lucky that only one person among my friend group has caught it so far (not confirmed but tested, can’t see it being negative) and he’s about 10 days in. In a pretty bad area too, SE Florida. Taking things seriously does make a difference it seems, funny that I’m counting down for the weekend these days just because it means I can seal myself in the house for 2 and a bit days.
