Deer with Covid?

WildRose said:
No, unlike the Flu it is not an airborne disease, it does spread via the aerosol route through droplets being exhaled by others particularly when coughing or sneezing. If it were airborne like the flu the entire country would have been exposed within the first six or eight weeks.

It's only spreading through direct contact with infected mucous/saliva from a cough/sneeze etc. Testing shows you must be in very close, intimate contact to absorb enough of those droplets to become infected yourself.

Early on there were some pretty good tests run showing that in an office/school type environment those droplets could spread no further than about 20-25' and they are heavier than air so they then fall to the ground.

Fortunately as well, unlike the Flu there's little to know evidence suggesting casual spread from surfaces either. Apparently when those droplets dry out the virus is glued down and trapped in what is left.

Ya... no its not like that. But honestly at this point who cares.

Well yes, that's exactly how it spreads according to pretty well every study done.

COVID-19 is spread in three main ways:

  • Breathing in air when close to an infected person who is exhaling small droplets and particles that contain the virus.
  • Having these small droplets and particles that contain virus land on the eyes, nose, or mouth, especially through splashes and sprays like a cough or sneeze.
  • Touching eyes, nose, or mouth with hands that have the virus on them.

How is COVID-19 Spread?

COVID-19 is an infectious disease caused by a virus. It is primarily spread person to person by small droplets, or by contacting contaminated surfaces.

How is COVID-19 spread?

As COVID-19 belongs to the coronavirus family – closely related to the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) & Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (MERS) virus – the primary route of transmission is the inhalation of small respiratory droplets from an infected person.

These small droplets produced from an infected person (symptomatic or asymptomatic) usually arise from sneezing, coughing, and even talking. Thus, those within proximity of less than 1 meter from an infected person are at a high risk of inhaling viral particles from an infected person.

Larger respiratory droplets (talking and coughing mildly) only remain in the air for a short period and typically do not travel distances greater than 1 meter. However, smaller respiratory 'nuclei' from sneezing (aerosolized) can travel distances greater than 1m.

The current evidence suggests that in most cases COVID-19 is transmitted by respiratory droplets, though symptomatic individuals that sneeze (less common in COVID-19 than flu) can propel particles much further. Thus, the risk of infection inside enclosed spaces is far greater than being outside.

Other indirect routes of transmission may include coming into contact with contaminated surfaces (called fomites) as a result of contagious droplets falling on these surfaces. When someone touches an infected surface and then touches their face (close proximity to mouth, nose, and eyes), the risk of the virus entering the body is significantly increased.

Coronaviruses, in general, have poor survivability on surfaces thus the risk of getting infected by touching parcels or shopping items is relatively low (the virus can only survive up to 1 day on cardboard and up to 2 days on plastic).

Amidst the pandemic, it is advisable to wipe surfaces and packets with a detergent disinfectant or alcohol wipes. Many shops and supermarkets now employ hygiene measures such as hand sanitizers and disinfectants before entrance. It is important for restaurants and takeaways to enhance hygiene efforts in order to make food in these contexts safe.

Lastly, some evidence has suggested the presence of SARS-CoV-2 RNA in stool samples from infected people – though whether these are infectious virus particles is still to be seen. Some evidence does point to infectious viral particles being present after flushing the toilet and keeping the toilet lid down reduced this supposed spread.

It is also safe to assume, based on all the emerging evidence, that all bodily secretions except for sweat may contain infectious virus particles. However, none of these routes are thought to be the main infection route for SARS-CoV-2, although caution is advised.

Ya the cdc is quite the source lol. Like I said, at this point who cares. It's been an absolute disaster the way it's been "handled"

Don't let politics interfere with your ability to think and examine things rationally. There's far to much of that going around these days.

The CDC isn't making that up, it's the product of hundreds of studies done around the world and they are just condensing it down for us.

If they were going to lie about it, they'd be lying telling us it's airborne like the Flu and that it spreads from contact with surfaces to scare us into compliance.

Lol. You may be from western SD but your obviously not a livestock guy. Glad you survived the last couple of years. It's not about politics beyond this "pandemic" being politicized. Too bad more people didn't think for themselves and get organized quicker and louder against the powers at be.

" THE PRODUCT OF HUNDREDS OF STUDIES."
And everyone knows FIGURES DON'T LIE....BUT LIARS CAN SURE FIGURE!!!

I simply refuse to let that kind of paranoia drive my decision making process.

I read the cited studies to see if they are being accurately represented or not and decide for myself.
