As the video talks about, just walking within four feet of an infected person is enough for transmission…

No coughing, no sneezing, not even talking required.

That's wrong.

This spread is usually limited to people who have close contact with a sick person. This includes direct physical contact, prolonged time spent in close or enclosed spaces, and exposure to the sick person's body fluids.

Instead of being alarmist, spend some more time reading.

It's not accepted that Andes can transmit person-person. There are some papers that claim this, poorly done.

Cruise industry is trying to distract from a chronic problem they have with fecal-oral viral transmission and food infected with rodent feces and urine.
