Respiratory droplets from a sneeze
Respiratory droplets from a sneeze

5x expanded by John P. Sadowski (NIOSH) (talk). Self-nominated at 02:58, 1 April 2020 (UTC).[reply]

  • New enough (expanded from redirect March 31), long enough (5,397 characters), well-cited throughout to reputable sources, neutral, and free from troubling close para/copyvio issues (the one source with more than seven or eight words appearing in the article is from a PD FDA source). Hook is 134 characters, definitely both timely and interesting and useful, and cited to and in ref 12. QPQ done and no image (although the sneezing one from the article is pretty expressive and could definitely be used). Good to go! —Collint c 22:59, 3 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

(Respiratory?) Droplet

[edit]

[3] Do flushing toilets, wet‐cleaning surfaces, showering or using tap water, or spraying graywater actually cause respiratory droplets? Or just "droplet"? --Horus (talk) 08:02, 8 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Why nobody advices to cough to ground direction?

[edit]

Droplet spread without source control: up to ~8 meters (26 ft) for sneezes and coughs, up to ~2 meters (6.6 ft) for talking. For a masked person, these distances are reduced.

What if one squats and coughs down, so that the droplets hit the ground? Then coughing would be much safer?
