It's weird how there's so much conflicting information on this virus.

Almost as if there are actually two or more extremely similar viruses with just a few small differences like this one...

... we're boned

This would be great, but a Trump run agency going with his narrative (and changing the stance that's been globally accepted) sure is convenient. Especially when CDC staffers admit the agency is playing politics

This is the behavior of a conspiracy theorist. Disregard any news or information that doesn't fit into the way you believe something should be.

This place is only interested in scare mongering headlines and using them call to people you don't agree with morons who don't care about saving lives. If you profess that this has been overblown you walk a fine line of being warned. This is from the CDC, about as official as it gets and yet a fucking mod doesn't want to hear it because it doesn't fit his personal bias.

Overblown...there's literally mass graves and not enough room to store the bodies in Italy, Spain, New York, Brazil etc

Reading their wording from March, doesn't sound like they were ever promoting it as a primary vector of transmission. This doesn't seem like a huge shift for them. Precautions that people downstream were taking were just making sure this new thing didn't spread as much.

CDC has literally changed its website to account for things Kushner and Trump have said. That's not conspiracy, there are definitive screenshots showing such of before and after. So again, you'll pardon me if I want some corroborating reports and don't take Trump's mouthpiece at face value.

Wasnt that thought to be the main method of how it spread? So what is it now, just airborne?
It's not airborne. The main method of spread has always been close contact.

Close contact means you were exposed to the person within a certain range (usually <1 meter) for a prolonged period of time where their respiratory droplets from sneezing, coughing etc landed directly on you or from talking/exhaling you accumulated enough of the virus from them that way because you were in such a close distance for so long.

Airborne means that after the person coughs/sneezes it hangs around in the air suspended for however long, long enough and with enough potency of the virus to affect people that walk through the area where the infected person was at a certain time later and infect them that way.

Yeah, airborne has a specific meaning, that I don't believe they've found with this outside certain circumstances. Getting it from droplets 'just' released in the air isn't the same thing

Oh, I see. I always thought airborne just meant it transmits through the air. So it works the way I thought, just I was confused about the term for it.

Although this doesn't technically mean we are not boned, just that we don't know everything about it.

the trials or experiments or whatever the fuck you call them seemed to make it that in controlled settings it could survive for a decent period but in most other settings that it would die off pretty quickly.

Depends on surface. The media was putting out these types of infographs as recently as April 7th.
