No idea but that's how it spreads - not slipstreams from joggers or any of that hysterical nonsense.

How? Its not magic and it's subject to gravity so how would you catch it off a random in a shop?
Yep - until vaccines improve there is nothing practical that will make any difference

Wow! Sorry to read this mate! This is the messed up thing with this virus, how it affects people can be so unpredictable. Get well soon!
Do you really need it explaining to you, people breathe in and out/cough/etc and walk past each other...

It's getting to the stage with these BA 4 and 5 variants in the UK where wearing masks on public transport should be mandatory again.
Rather shameful that NHS sick leave policy for Covid is reverting to standard policy this week.

Special Covid leave scrapped for NHS staff in England
The Royal College of Nursing said the decision shows "how little" the government valued NHS staff.

I doubt it'll be long before there's a strike for better pay and working conditionsIt's getting to the stage with these BA 4 and 5 variants in the UK where wearing masks on public transport should be mandatory again.

Honestly @n111ck I haven’t agreed with any of your comments/opinions but just chose to ignore you, at one point I just thought you were trolling but it honestly seems you really are just that stupid.
To not even know after all this time how it is spread and to not even know that you do not even have to be face to face in enclosed spaces with poor air circulation, think it has been proven that breath vapour can hang in air for around 4 hours at least.
Of course there are things which can help control cases/deaths, ignorance is bliss until reality bites you on the ass, I think that’s the only thing which would change your “thoughts”

This is wrong. We have known for a long time that COVID is airborne and not just contained within large fluids. Where have you been the past two years?
Lots of waffle but no substance as usual.
There are not clouds of covid ‘gas‘ floating around supermarkets waiting to be inhaled - chances of catching it from a complete stranger with no social interaction in normal circumstances must be absolutely tiny.
Just pipe down already.
How Does Coronavirus Spread?
How does COVID-19 spread? See all the ways coronavirus can be transmitted and how people can help flatten the curve.

We know that in crowded or poorly ventilated areas, airborne transmission is absolutely a factor. Your assumptions that it doesn't matter mean nothing. And do note that is says 'divided', which is not a free pass to say 'see, I'm correct'.
‘Divided‘ is also not a free pass for you to say you are correct either.
you can take the worst case from every scientific study and normalise it into every day situations if it helps feed your sense of anxiety but back in the real world people catch it from people they know not from going shopping.

The phrase "say it, not spray it" seems a bit redundant then 
Ah, a classic deflection. Completely ignores the fact that we know provably that COVID can survive in the air (and not just large droplets like he thinks) for at least 3 hours, despite trying to claim earlier that doesn't happen and shows his lack of understanding.
'its not magic and subject to gravity' lmao. Clueless.
I came down with covid on Monday last week. Started off with a shiver, then progressed into what I can only describee as moderate flu type symptoms. Although a recent lat flow has shown that I'm now negative, I feel utterly shattered. I'm hoping the residual fatigue doesn't last long; a week+ of isolation, now having to sleep frequently, is becoming a touch depressing.
As someone who has spent the last few years working in hospitals, I'm surprised I avoided it this long. Just a bit unfortunate I should get it so soon after passing my med degree, and so close to what was going to be a celebratory holiday.

Divided / probably - yes all very compelling..
