“All identified outbreaks of three or more cases occurred in an indoor environment, which confirms that sharing indoor space is a major SARS-CoV-2 infection risk.”<\/p>\n\n\n

Indoor transmission of SARS-CoV-2<\/div>
Background: By early April 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic had infected nearly one million people and had spread to nearly all countries worldwide. It is essential to understand where and how SARS-CoV-2 is transmitted. Methods: Case reports were extracted from the local Municipal Health Commissions of 3\u2026<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n

Viral Load Exposure Factors<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

While aerosolized indoor transmission has been recognized herein since April 2020, on October 5th, 2020, the CDC formally recognized that aerosol transmission of SARS-CoV-2<\/a> is a significant contributor to COVID-19 infections.

The CDC currently defines a close contact as “Someone who was within 6 feet of an infected person for at least 15 minutes<\/a><\/em>“. It appears to indicate that the CDC considers brief contact on the order of a few minutes or few seconds as very unlikely to cause transmission. Unfortunately, the CDC is not more specific about the very large differences between indoor and outdoor transmission risks. Outdoor areas, such as parks and ocean beaches<\/a>, with natural high volume air exchange that greatly dilutes any viral loads<\/a> which may be present, results in dramatically decreased levels of transmission relative to indoor areas<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A larger initial exposure viral load can cause increased severity because the exponential viral replication reaches much higher levels before the immune system can respond<\/a>. This results in dramatically greater viral damage. The increased viral presence also tends to activate a more intense immune response which may result in increased systemic damage from the immune response. Reducing viral loads<\/a> into a variolative<\/strong><\/a> or minor infection range can significantly reduce the likelihood of a severe case. A regular regimen of a few cycles of normal daily exercise improves immune response \/ speed pre-exposure and immediately following exposure to minimize likelihood of illness<\/a>.

It is possible to minimize severity of illness by slowing the exponential growth of viral load that develops shortly after exposure which helps the adaptive immune response to mature before exponential viral growth becomes extremely large. The innate immune response tends to slow natural infections; and intelligent behavior (such as using viral inactivation<\/a> substances such as mouthwash, toothpaste, essential oils \/ breath-mints \/ breath-strips, zinc, small amounts of ethyl alcohol, etc.), can slow the exponential growth such that B\/T cell activation \/maturation occurs before exponential growth of antigen becomes large. Mints and essential oils<\/a> have been recognized as helpful for many centuries<\/a>, and many modern mouthwashes that kill bacteria and inactivate viruses are now essential oil rather than alcohol based. Swishing fractions of an ounce of high-percentage ethyl alcohol (hard liquor) into the throat area with tickle\/minor-irritation every few hours tends to slow viral growth, although once viral damage to the tissues becomes significant, this tends to create further irritation \/ tissue damage; and larger amounts of ethyl alcohol may negatively impact immune system response, so this tends to be optimal only for very early “tickle” stages of illness. Placing 1\/16th of a zinc supplement (nibble off a small piece) and\/or a few grains of salt in room temperature or slightly warm water will make the water much more pleasant to drink, which may help you to remain well hydrated. The zinc also seems to have a throat soothing effect (try it) and may have some mild topical protective characteristics and this tends to be effective in both early and later stages of illness. Just a nibble of a zinc mineral supplement and a few grains of salt go a long way and also tend to make water less irritating to the sore throat – thus encouraging increased hydration which is also helpful. Salt water gargling tends to be helpful. Swishing saliva around within the mouth and onto irritated areas helps to keep them moist and in some cases will help mucosal antibodies find and bind to viruses that may be present near the irritated area that is replicating virus. This can be particularly helpful during re-exposures and in later stages of infections where significant virus specific antibodies may be present within the saliva. Histamine responses<\/a> also tend to increase likelihood of antibody encounters with viruses within mucosal tissues and also help to purge virus from the body through sneeze and runny nose responses.

It is likely that many infections and transmissions can be avoided or minimized through the use of breath-mints \/ breath strips during and following potential exposure encounters.

When sick, highly aerobic activity can undesirably facilitate virus movement deeper within the airway and into the lungs, yet light exercise such as walking can stimulate blood\/lymph flow without resulting the deep respiration that internally spreads virus within the airway. Similarly, fresh air and avoiding rebreathing “sick-room” viral laden air<\/a> can help avoid spreading the infection within the airway. Perhaps obviously, keeping considerable physical distance from others while enjoying fresh outdoor air will dilute any viral load that might be shedding<\/a> when sick and wearing masks can help while in careful transit to some wide open personal space containing fresh air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A study entitled “COVID-19 Aerosolized Viral Loads, Environment, Ventilation, Masks, Exposure Time, Severity, And Immune Response : A Pragmatic Guide Of Estimates<\/a>” provides example scenarios and estimates infection risk for people who are not yet immune via vaccine or natural infection recovery. The study is built upon a reference case of a non-infected person in an indoor environment within 2 to 4.8 meters of 2 infected persons. It uses that reference data to estimate the time necessary to cause various exposure levels and resulting infection potential in various indoor and outdoor settings of both Influenza A and COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The study helps answer the questions:<\/strong>
How long may a person safely remain within various environments?<\/strong>
What exposure levels could result in immunity without becoming ill via asymptomatic<\/a> graduated inoculation?<\/strong>
