UC Davis Study: Flu And Other Viruses Can Spread On Dust

The video discusses how air can spread flu and other viruses, highlighting research that shows dried tissue with flu virus can emit infectious particles. The study used Guinea pigs to track virus movement, revealing that airborne dust, not just droplets, can carry viruses. While it's unclear if humans can contract viruses this way, the findings suggest new research areas and implications for COVID-19 transmission.

What was the reaction of biologists and epidemiologists to the findings of the study?

What is still unclear regarding the transmission of viruses through airborne particles?
