South Korean Study Shows How Air Conditioning Can Cause Coronavirus to Infect People Over Large Distances
The LA Times has an interesting read about how a high school student in Jeonju was infected with the coronavirus in restaurant from someone seated 20 feet away:
Dr. Lee Ju-hyung has largely avoided restaurants in recent months, but on the few occasions he’s dined out, he’s developed a strange, if sensible, habit: whipping out a small anemometer to check the airflow.
It’s a precaution he has been taking since a June experiment in which he and colleagues re-created the conditions at a restaurant in Jeonju, a city in southwestern South Korea, where diners contracted the coronavirus from an out-of-town visitor. Among them was a high school student who became infected after five minutes of exposure from more than 20 feet away.
The results of the study, for which Lee and other epidemiologists enlisted the help of an engineer who specializes in aerodynamics, were published last week in the Journal of Korean Medical Science. The conclusions raised concerns that the widely accepted standard of six feet of social distance may not be far enough to keep people safe.
The study — adding to a growing body of evidence on airborne transmission of the virus — highlighted how South Korea’s meticulous and often invasive contact tracing regime has enabled researchers to closely track how the virus moves through populations.

You can read the rest at the link, but the study shows once again that air conditioning is able to push infectious droplets over distances longer than 6 feet. People with their back to the air conditioning flow were not infected, but those with their face directed towards the air conditioner were.
For a disease with a 2-3 week incubation period, this type of flummery insults the intelligence. No one can accurately track the virus. This is just dystopian science fiction designed to support the lockdown narrative that even the WHO and CDC are backing away from..
And now let’s do taxis, buses, aircraft, and door handles. It’s a virus. It will eventually reach everyone. It won’t “infect” everyone–and not all “infected” will have symptoms or be contagious–but let’s make sure everyone is on their knees in terror hoping “Big Brother” will fix everything.
Phooey.
Modern korean fan death….or just a way to get people to not us AC…the great reset.
China air conditioning cough.
Hard to eat without a mask on.

An international civil rights alliance called CIVICUS Monitor published a report this week that accused countries around the world, including the United States, of using the coronavirus pandemic as an “opportunity to introduce or implement additional restrictions on civic freedoms.”

The only civic freedom I see violated is the right to have a legal vote wiped out by a flood of illegal ones. “Every vote should count”, said by a liberal with a smirking face filling in hundreds of ballots in Fulton County Georgia. Then put them in a drop box with no signature verification.
And yet there is no evidence of such happening, OT. Trump and his team have lost case after case regarding this election. He lost. The election was legitimate.
Proud American johnhenry is being disingenuous. But, living in CCP land, he might not actually be getting accurate news (including photographs, video, and sworn affidavits). And he might be required to join with Beijing in supporting corrupt rapist Joey Fingers.

Meanwhile, I invite our Non-Canadian colleague to look up both the definition of “evidence” and the “Federal Rules of Evidence” in order to recompose himself and avoid being seen as a mendacious knave.
Many people totally misunderstand the difference between “evidence” and “opinion.” I am choosing to believe True Patriot johnhenry is in that category. And that he can self-help himself back to the truth.
If he is willing.
Fascinating what you trumpists convince yourself of.
AMEN, setnaffa. Even Judas came to realize the error in his ways.
Johnhenry is a traitor to America…
…a child-touching version of Tokyo Rose spewing anti-American lies from his base deep in the heart of communist China.
But maybe it is not his fault. Once the Chinese have blackmail material on you, you had better do their bidding.
Sorry, johnhenry. You really should have looked for hidden cameras before touching those little boys.
You really are a piece of crap, CH.
Maybe… but I actually want America and Americans to succeed rather than handing it all over to a child-sniffing puppet of China representing a political party which increasingly appears to be working for Chinese interests.
You, johnhemry, are an anti-American tool of China, pushing your seditious propaganda and your pedo-advocasy here to the wrong crowd.
Don’t expect it to be unnoticed or appreciated.
Johnhenry,
Do you sabotage America because you hate it, because China pays you, or because they are blackmailing you into betraying your country?
To avoid attention, simply don’t respond to this if you have been blackmailed with compromising pictures of you and children.
We will understand and perhaps try to get you help.
