Study Finds Coronavirus Transmitted Through Air

Contradicting some reports.  From the story: …researchers found genetic material from the virus that causes COVID-19 in air samples from both in and outside of confirmed coronavirus patients’ rooms. The findings offer “limited evidence that some potential for airborne transmission exists,” researchers said, though they warned that the findings do not confirm airborne spread (Fox News). 

Meanwhile, Trump is considering cutting domestic flights to and from hot spots (WSJ). Nearly 300 employees of the Department of Homeland Security have tested positive (Daily Caller).  

Using social media posts, data researchers have determined where they believe flareups are soon to come (Business Insider). A quarter of those who are sick have no symptoms (CNN).
