Can Farts Transmit COVID-19 Coronavirus? Here Is What Is Being Said
Perhaps you got wind of what came out during a recent Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) podcast.
One for the road, prior to Cave.
Brief key point, but please read the entire article.
"Even when you don’t have diarrhea, farts, also known as flatulence or backdoor breezes, can come in lots of different varieties, ranging from tiny toots to rather wet ones. And that wetness ain’t soda water. A study published in a 1997 issue of the Journal of Physiology measured the volume of study participant’s farts and found the largest volume fart to be 375 millilitres. That’s over 12.6 fluid ounces, which is more than what’s in a tall latte from Starbucks. With so much potentially coming out your rear end, could a fart be basically a butt-cough or a butt-sneeze? Can it actually spray poop particles and the virus into the air? ?"
Don't be so humble. You didn't need any help.Now I know what the mod was referencing with wet farts.
