45 Persons In US Contract Coronavirus ‘through The Air’ At Choir Rehearsal by prof2007: 4:12am On Apr 04, 2020 |
About 45 members of the choir at Mount Vernon Presbyterian Church in the United States have “contracted coronavirus (COVID-19) through the air”. According to Los Angeles Times, three of the members are already hospitalised, while two others are dead. Adam Burdick, the choirmaster, had informed the 121 singers through an email on March 6 that the rehearsal would hold despite concerns about the virus already spreading across the country. “I’m planning on being there this Tuesday, March 10, and hoping many of you will be, too,” Burdick wrote in the email. However, only 60 of the choristers were present at the choir practice that lasted for about three hours, while an official gave hand sanitiser to them at the entrance. The singers were also said to have avoided hugging or shaking one another. About three weeks after, 45 of them were diagnosed with coronavirus. 8 of the patients said none of them coughed, sneezed or looked ill during the choir practice, while they all maintained some distance. “It seemed like a normal rehearsal, except that choirs are huggy places,” the choir master said. “We were making music and trying to keep a certain distance between each other.” The outbreak at the church rehearsal has raised question among experts in the US that COVID-19 could be transferred from person to person through air. The World Health Organisation (WHO) has, however, stated that the notion making the rounds that coronavirus is airborne is in incorrect. It said the virus that causes COVID-19 is mainly transmitted through droplets generated when an infected person coughs, sneezes or speaks.

Another proof the monster is airborne as I earlier maintained. The Dr who got infected at Irrua Specialist Hospital where infection control is top notch never hugged nor touched patients without wearing gears. At Trrua, health workers were being disinfected/fumigated before gears are removed. More discoveries and studies about the virus as they unfold would help further in containing it. Social distancing isn't enough precaution as revealed by experts in the recent studies. |

Avoid crowded place or stay at home they won't hear. Why the choir rehearsal at this critical moment. Thank God for the lives of the members that avoided the choir practice |

Little is known about this virus and discovery just keeps unveiling everyday. Now it's airborne... Like airborne airborne. It's no longer about face masks but it can fly in the air and cone in via your windows and air conditioning units.

60 people came to church, 45 people have it... Does that mean 15 people are immune to it or what?... |

babyfaceafrica:Somebody else would wonder whether the 45 people who got infected had little or no faith, while the 15 uninfected were their oppsite in faith. Does that make sense? |

It was contractkiller Mr. Coronavirus that killed his brethren! It doesn't matter whether you have faith or you work! Destiny is sure! Whoever will have it will have it. Whoever will die of it will die of it. We just try our best. https://punchng.com/coronavirus-67-catholic-priests-die-in-italy/?amp=1 67 priests died of Coronavirus in Italy alone! Who do you think killed them? A. Jehovah B. Jesus C. Satan D. Contractkiller E. Coronavirus |
