Does vaping spread covid?

[Jd_]

Hey, does pg actually kill bacteria? All these anti bacterial coils have been makin me think about that

What's vaping got to do with it, it's just a visualisation of breathing, sort of like an artistic representation, like what happens when it's freezing cold and we can all see each others breath?

The fact that exhaled ECA offers an effective visualization of the expired flow distinguishes vaping (and smoking) from other respiratory activities potentially transmitting pathogens. This property has an important psychological dimension: bystanders seeing the expiratory flow potentially carrying pathogens can instinctively (without scientific training or computations) position themselves to avoid direct exposure, something impossible or very hard to do with other expirations. This is also relevant for safety and precautionary concerns, as visualization makes it absolutely clear that direct exposure risk distances are in the range 1-2 meters but only in the direction of the exhaled jet, with individuals placed in other directions (and not wearing face masks) only facing an indirect exposure risk. Nevertheless, it is prudent to maintain a 2 meters separation distance from everyone vaping if you don't wear a face mask.


Plenty to read, no idea whether it's bonkers or not, it's the most up to date vaping and covid related article I could find (19/12/2020)

The dynamical parameters inferred above assume the low intensity ‘mouth to lung’ (MTL) vaping style practiced by vast majority (80-90%) of vapers, involving a mouth hold before lung inhalation and using low powered devices (either starter kits, closed systems or pods). However, 10-20% of vapers practice the more intense ‘direct to lung’ style using high powered tank devices. As shown in [10], this style involves larger exhalation velocities and distance spreads of over 2 meters. In this paper we will only consider the MTL style, as it is the most representative of vapers worldwide.

As shown in [10], good luck with reading and understanding this lot

As a consequence of its low intensity and intermittent nature (each puff is roughly one breath long), vaping adds every hour just a minuscule (roughly 1%) increase of emitted quanta on top of those quanta emitted by continuous (unavoidable) rest breathing, which can be considered as the baseline “control” state. As a reference, normal speech for 6 minutes in one hour adds roughly 44% extra infective quanta over this control state.

Lol @ 10 puffs per hour

Polosa likens the risk of spreading the disease from heavy (DTL) vaping as being the same as being near someone speaking/singing or exercising.

That's good I (MTLish) and have just banned speaking/singing and exercising in the house.

It's working well so far, but she will need to come in soon to make the dinner

Have you banned sex, and wanking as well...................?

@Mawsley didn't say anything about that......but just to be safe 2 hand jobs a day... bout a meter distance has been agreed

Are you trying to imply that your cock is a metre long ?
