Glad you started a new post. Easier for me to ignore. Plenty of panic on TV to go around, I don't need to read it on an eBike forum too..

I want to know if he has information saying this is proper full airborne by particle - or if it is by droplet as has been described. Proper type of masks n95 are said to be effective against droplets. If he has information contrary to the expert opinion, I am anxious to hear it.An N95 mask is a much better mask than your average surgical mask.
N95 masks filter particles down to 0.3 micron.
The coronavirus is 0.13 micron.
Technically, even an N95 mask is insufficient to protect against this virus.
But if a mask keeps you from touching your nose and mouth, it may help. In that case a surgical mask with a splash guard for your eyes would be better as it keeps you from touching eyes, nose and mouth.
Just don’t think you’re adequately protected from airborne coronsviruses when wearing them.
(I think this may be one of the unsaid reasons they’re not recommending surgical masks.)
This certainly pokes holes in the theory that this virus might have originated in a less than natural pathway.
The Lancet - Genomic characterisation and epidemiology of 2019 novel coronavirus: implications for virus origins and receptor binding
A new genetic analysis of 10 genome sequences of novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) from nine patients in Wuhan, China finds that the virus is most closely related to two bat-derived SARS-like coronaviruses, according to a study published in The Lancet. 2019-nCoV likely emerged very recently and was detected relatively rapidly. While the virus is genetically different to human severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) and should be considered a new human-infecting coronavirus, it may use the same molecular ‘doorway’ as SARS to enter human cells.

Here's another statement I would like BrianK to elucidate.

I ask "How so?"
Sorry, I can’t give a definitive answer on this one. I’ll review where I saw this information and see if I can find out more.BrianK posted this in the other thread but he has not responded yet to my query of his information so I'll try to get him to respond here.

I don't see the reasoning for assuming *mutation* and *in the wild* vs phenotypic variation or plasticity and forced "evolution" in the lab. Can you explain further? Thank you.Its closely related to two bat derived coronaviruses and likely emerged very recently so it’s a likely recent mutation in the wild, and spread via their wet markets and bizarre eating habits including bat soup.
OMG, this type in charge.“What we’re asking them to do is continue about regular business should they develop signs and symptoms and to stay home,”
“If I were reincarnated I would wish to be returned to earth as a killer virus to lower human population levels.”
Based on these reports, I now am fairly well convinced this is an escaped viral bioweapon.
...
“In "Uncanny similarity of unique inserts in the 2019-nCoV spike protein to HIV-1 gp120 and Gag", Indian researchers are baffled by segments of the virus's RNA that have no relation to other coronaviruses like SARS, and instead appear to be closer to HIV. The virus even responds to treatment by HIV medications.“
