Soaring Not Dead Everywhere
No doubt we risking spreading the virus to others the moment we leave home, especially if we are not careful.
No doubt we risking others when we introduce them to soaring or give them glider rides. Think about it. The safest thing is to stay home. Order groceries online and practice total isolation for months and hopefully you will not go stir crazy. I know I would. Luckily, soaring is not dead everywhere. Ramy |

Ramy There is increasing evidence that most COVID transmission is airborne: https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/113597...arket-lingers/ This is different from other infectious diseases that are transmitted by touching an infected surface. One reporter infected 4-5 friends at lunch and none touched any of the others or their food, plates or utensils. Wearing a mask does not protect you from an infected person - it protects others from you. CV size is 125nm; good air filters only catch 1000nm particles and non-medical grade masks don't stop it either. And if you do get sick it won't be like the flu - it will likely be worse, much worse.

Soaring Not Dead Everywhere
Viruses come in a variety of sizes and structural makeup. Some relatively large, some small. Some are chemically tough, some very delicate. Some can only stay viable in liquid and fall apart as they dry out. Some can take drying but are quickly destroyed by UV. The variation is huge. Google is your friend. Information on basic virology, written for the lay person, is easy to find on the net.

How can non living chunks of RNA/protein behave as radically different animals? HIV bits of protein can only be transferred by sodomy or blood You left out normal sex and birth. Both can transmit HIV. but Yellow Flu-aids bits of protein can fly up to 5' 11" through space hunting down new victims. Something doesn't add up. Some virus types can survive drying out (coronavirii, flu) while others can't (HIV). That's just the same as animals: some can survive in air (crocs, turtles) while others can't (fish, octopii) but all of these can live in water just as all virus types that infect humans and other animals can live in body fluids. -- Martin | martin at Gregorie | gregorie dot org |

All the glider manufacturers post cool CFD videos. Well it works for coughing too. Not sure what the COVID-19 best L/D is, but seems like it's more than 6 feet.
