Does vaping spread covid?

No her arm is

careful, it spreads covid!

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.

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

If 10 puffs an hour raises the risk by 1% then surely taking 150 puffs per hour will increase the risk by 15% No?

I find these threads very helpful.
So, wanking and vaping is unlikely to spread covid if you've got a metre long cock and a partner with long arms.
Can one incorporate a wank into a juggling act?
Is there a PDF?

Indeed, I did wonder

Simon Cowell would hit the golden buzzer if you can manage it on BGT, keep your focus on Amanda

OK, OK! Juggle... wank... plus cute dog...

 

[knome]

How the fuck did Amanda get in there?
... retract dog... or maybe not...

How the fk did a dog get in there... Juggle...wank...Amanda...bark?

Oooooh ............. magic .....................

This guy can make it go a lot further .............. and make vape tornados.
