I had to step away and missed this last segment on Chris Hayes with Dr. Rasmussen. (help please)

Was anyone here watching just now? What did she say about the more likely and less likely ways the virus is transmitted?

[Cattledog]

1. Transmitted mainly through saliva droplets that become

aerosolized through coughing & sneezing. Droplets can travel up to 12ft.

5. Thanks for reporting what was said.

I had to step away right after he talked about how far droplets could travel. It was a good segment that I didn't like missing. The other respondents filled me in on the rest.

2. More likely is by droplets.

When someone sneezes. Not do much via the air conditioning system or via contact with packaging or grocery bags.
If you disinfect your hands regularly after touching such bags the risk is very low.

4. I have some clorox wipes (or the CVS brand of them) that I have been using to disinfect anything

that goes in my freezer before I put it in there. And any time I open something up that was in the freezer I immediately wash my hands for 20 seconds with soap. It scares me that the virus can survive in the freezer for so long.

Thanks for the info.

3. low transmission thru contact with mail, food etc, spread thru close proximity nt

6. Thank you.

I am trying my best to stay in. My first quarantine was for 23 days. I am now going to the supermarket once a week because the shelves are so empty that I cannot get everything I need for a longer period of sheltering.

I am not going anywhere other than the Safeway and, if needed, the CVS right next door to it. I have been nowhere else in a long time.
