It rides on the funky rhythm, baby.

If someone who has the virus is smoking (cigarette) and I inhale it, could I get the virus you think

a study published last week in the Journal of American Medicine by a Massachusetts Institute of Technology researcher. It found that the virus can travel as far as 27 feet indoors when somebody sneezes and remain floating in the air for hours, waiting for the next person passing by to breathe it in.

Scientists also say the virus -- encapsulated in saliva and mucus droplets as tiny as 1/200th the width of a human hair can enter the air just when someone talks or even breathes.

A study in the New England Journal of Medicine recently found the virus could linger in the air and still be infectious three hours later.

In Washington, stunned Skagit County health officials told The Los Angeles Times that they are almost certain tiny particles suspended in the air are responsible for a large COVID-19 outbreak at a March 10 choir practice in Mount Vernon, 60 miles north of Seattle. Two people have died from the disease and 45 have fallen ill. At the time, no one whod attended the choir practice at Mount Vernon Presbyterian Church reported any symptoms.

Prather this week urged Southern California surfers who are defying Californias shelter-in-place order to stop crowding the waves for a while. Ocean breezes, she said, can blast the virus from the mouth of one surfer into the next.

The same goes for runners who stride next to one another across the sand or bicyclists who ride one behind the other on the roads, she said.

If an oncoming hiker says hello that also increases the chance theyre propelling the virus into the air, he said.

Indoors, the risks increase dramatically, Corsi said, because someone can cough in one room and these small particles can easily migrate throughout the entire house.

If someone who has the virus is smoking (not cigarette) could the virus get hella baked and chill out a bit?

Im not a smoker, I asked that because I passed a man who was smoking and obviously I turned away but I still smelled the smoke

But all those news articles are telling me that the man smoking isnt the issue, its apparently me being outdoors in the first place since its everywhere
