Aerosol Inhalation Reason for Cruise Ship Turning To A COVID-19 Hotspot

  • A computer model of the cruise-ship outbreak found that the virus spread via microscopic droplets.
  • 700 of the 3,711 passengers and crew members had tested positive for COVID-19.
  • A research team tried to tease out the ways in which the virus passed from person to person.
  • The transmission was via microscopic droplets that were light enough to float in the air.
  • Researchers performed more than 20,000 simulations to determine the virus spread in the ship.
  • Compared to large droplets, smaller...
