Answer 3

Fomites, secretions : Viruses outside of a host does have a short lifespan. So transmissions are cared briefly in close contacts via bodily secretions as well as fomities.

Answer 4

Mostly airborne: We are learning more about the SARs-CoV-19 virus daily. The consensus seems to indicate that the majority of infections are airborne through droplets of varying size. These droplets can be produced by someone coughing, sneezing or even talking. Having everyone wear a mask, and having people who are sneezing or coughing stay home, helps to prevent the spread of the droplets.

Answer 5

COVID 19: COVID 19 is primarily transmitted via droplets that other people breath, cough or sneeze out and that enter or respiratory system through our eyes, nose or mouth. There is surface contact transmission to a lesser extent. In some situations it can become aerosolized and inhaled.

Answer 6

Handwashing: Most infections (80-85%) are passed through hand-to-hand contact. Washing your hand frequently in warm soapy water will significantly reduce your chances of an infection. Other things to do include not sharing utensils, cups, toothpaste, hand towels, etc. Having those who are ill to cover his mouth when ever sneezing or coughing will help.

Global viruses: Yes. Because of huge increases in the world populations, and the ease of travel among countries, a new virus or a mutated virus can infect huge numbers of people and be rapidly dispersed around the world and cause an epidemic before it is controlled and vaccines can be made up to give immunity.

Viral epidemic: There is no way to predict this accurately but i would say it is possible but not likely in my opinion.

Borna antibodies have been found in people and some have tried to link the virus to certain neuropsychiatric illnesses in man.
