    Source?  That sounds different than what I  remember from biology classes.

    I just wanted to say, "Viral load"

    The dose matters in determining whether an infection can take hold and seemingly how severe the resulting disease will be.

    The main sources for infection are home, workplace, public transport, social gatherings, and restaurants. This accounts for 90% of all transmission events. In contrast, outbreaks spread from shopping appear to be responsible for a small percentage of traced infections

    If I am outside, and I walk past someone, remember it is “dose and time” needed for infection. You would have to be in their airstream for 5+ minutes for a chance of infection.

    I don't understand why that is news. But I have seen many maskers telling others to get educated that masks don't protect yourself . -shrug-

    Anybody can find a study to support their point of view...

    Does the amount of droplets change the intensity of the infection though?
