OK - Dog Damnit -- This is what I was looking for. Thank You! I’d begun to listen/ watch, then decided to download & walk while listening - then listened repeatedly to various segments, and very much appreciate the link.

I suppose the hype of the podcast intro is how youngsters are attracted, but I very much appreciated Mr. Rogan not constantly interrupting the expert … unlike a Howard Stern..

But damn - the virus is simply exhaled, contagious by proximity alone..? I know sneezing places it ‘in the air,’ and coughing ‘coats surfaces,’ but simply exhaling contaminates the surrounding air? I’d not heard that, but if confirmed - we may as well choose a time to ‘take it on,’ then find out if we last 😕

that is why they keep telling the health workers to wear ppe N95 masks (respirators)
So it can speread SHORT DISTANCES 3-6 ft, by air, and much further as water bourne particulates and/or persistant drops.

The worst thing about a novel virus is novelty, we are ignorant and tyrying to learn in real time.

We are in the Bloom now, the harsh reality is it will spread, and bloom, and kill the elderly and weakened and stress our health system to the max (hopefully not)
BUT
Once enough people have had it and lived, they will then fail to spread it, so the bloom will pass . . . and leave a wake of dead folks
Me likely among them as I am an at risk person.
