How intriguing! Before I'm lured away from my lab again, I would quickly like to say what a riveting little influenza virus this is. It is still at the early stages where I am giddily waiting to monitor it's progress after the preliminary stages of infection set in.
A sneeze can spread germs for around twelve to fifteen feet and sometimes even farther, if the air has less water vapor through humidity or it is a region that is naturally more arid. That is 40,000 droplets of fun expelled out of people's faces.
I know this much: This flu season will be rather unfortunate for the mouthbreathers of this world.
