    1. That’s not true. We just started coughing a few hundred years ago. Where do you get your info?

    2. I just coughed when I read your stupid comment, you imbecile. And into my elbow…like I’m supposed to.

  1. Sorry idiot’s….smoke doesn’t count. Germs travel is much shorter distance. Sun light kills germs and fresh air, also. go spread your lie’s elsewhere.

    1. Would you be surprised if I told you aerosols are a suspension of fine solid particles or liquid droplets in air?

    2. @Flying Dutchman It is a sad reflection of our populations intelligence that your reply only has a couple likes and the original comment has a dozen…so sad.

  2. Hmm other people’s cooties yes oh yes let them invade my system and keep my immunities in tip top condition. Let me breath your air so I may become stronger.

  3. Oh look some more steal your freedom and your security propaganda so we can force you to take vaccines with poisons so we can depopulate the planet and put tracking software and you so we know everything you do all the time
    Stay ahead of the curve look into the 1918 Spanish flu and introduction to radio vs CV and 5g the 2nd wave.

    1. 2021 liberals draft legislation to protect dummies from the China virus
      # testdummiesrpeopletoo

  4. Why just not walk around with hazmat suit forever ! Cmon, work on being healthy that’s the best defence.

  5. Could science finally have discovered why we cover our mouths and noses when we sneeze and/or cough?

  6. Wow a lil slow to the table, Japan already did these tests months ago showing REAL human coughs how the droplets travel and far…..already knew 2 meters was not far enough!!!!

  7. Dumbest waste of grant money ever. This reiterates what we already knew. Also why wouldn’t you do this with a person instead of a mannequin? The real dummies here are wearing lab coats.

  8. Lol live in the bubble
    The news has got to go I’d its not a pandemic its killer wasps
