Pretty scary how transmissible this virus is. Almost seems like, from a bunch of reports, if youre in the vicinity of someone with the virus for any decent or even lesser amount of time, there's a solid chance you'll get infected. And i doubt those infected people are sneezing and coughing a lot or at all.... likely just talking and breathing. Hard to say whether it's because no one has immunity or something about this virus makes it more virulent and easily transmissible or all of the above.
Also makes one think just how frequently we are exposed to other viruses/bacteria when things were normal and we were all shaking hands, talking loudly in big groups of friend/colleagues, having people sneeze and cough around us all the time, spitting on the ground etc. Hopefully there'll be changes moving forward. I understand the respect factor with the handshake after men's league hockey etc but it's pretty effing disgusting. Even in normal life/business....maybe the handshake will go away and we'll just put our hands together at the heart and bow to one another from now on.
