So these are really tiny particles that can stay in the air for a long time and can go further and so there is some evidence I believe that Covid can be transmitted in this method with these kind of small aerosolized particles that can stay in the air for a longer period of time, we still have to keep doing the masking and the distancing and staying home whenever possible.

So it's very contagious -- a very contagious disease -- and if one child comes to a camp with the measles virus and can spread it, then it puts the other children at risk, you're not going to send them to summer camp without sunscreen.

We've always thought it was airborne in that you didn't actually need to come into direct contact with somebody's mouth or nose to get the virus. So if somebody sneezed, it could travel through the air as large droplets and get to your mouth and nose and cause an infection.

The question is, are( tropical cases) travel associated, connected to a known case, or cases of unknown origin, if there is seasonality, we would expect connected cases and cases of unknown origin to decrease as the temperature becomes warmer. I think it is really too soon to tell if we are going to see a seasonal pattern with Covid-19 or not.

The dynamics for control of the epidemic may rely on factors that influence transmission of the virus such as infectiousness and spread or the virus by persons having mild or no symptoms, or by behaviors to reduce the spread of the virus, we are not dealing with a virus like influenza that behaves predictably every year.

There really still is so much unknown about this virus, if case numbers decrease over the summer, it is a good idea to prepare for a resurgence during the colder months.
