he was on the view today by remote not with them but did he say the virus was not airborne or we don't know it it is airborne?  Please tell me he didn't.

They had abc's female health correspondence with them at the table no one corrected him but they kept trying to interrupt him. They were all sitting  about 6 feet apart.  Dr phil is supposed to have a special on the virus tomorrow

I'm actually watching it now.  He hasn't appeared yet but when he does I'll let you know if no one else does.  He's not a medical doctor so strange of him to comment.

 I'm not watching but haven't they said (on the news)  it is sperad by droplets NOT airborne?

It was established several weeks ago that the virus is not airborne.  This is not a news flash.

[Laura14]

He's on now.  #1 thing to remember is we are not helpless.

Also turn off or limit the news and help others to fill yourself up.

@MalteseMommaThat's my understanding also -  that you need to be quite close to someone infected to contract the virus.   And that it's also important to remember the virus lives on surfaces an infected person touches --  I suspect it could sometimes live evern longer than the three days they know it does.  This is a new virus so we're bpound to see information change as scentists learn more.

You'll see who people really are now during this.  

Half of people who have had virus are already recovered and back to their lives.

Stop irrational fear the world will stop.

Self isolation advice:  keep normal routine, go outside

@lovescats  And finally he did say it's a contact virus.  It is NOT airborne.
