Suppose that makes a change from all the dead horse flogging these days.
Don't use a mask, most are pretty pointless. Actually infection as such is quite hard, but the reason for the spread is the sheer number of interactions, and the number of people who have the virus, and are shedding it without their knowledge. Brian
The virus is heavier than air. With normal breathing it falls to the ground within a few feet. If you cough or sneeze, it goes a lot further. A mask by nature should help contain it.
I don't think you can really say that something a small as a virus is "heavier than air". The droplets carrying it might be heavier than air though.
