[QUOTE="tRidiot, post: 2625077, member: 9374"] Understand the context here, yes... but certainly not enough to say that since he isn't a medical worker he wasn't exposed to blood or body fluids. Lots, lots, lots, LOTS of people in direct or indirect contact with a patient can easily be exposed to blood and/or bodily fluids. Simply a person wiping their nose and touching a doorhandle at a supermarket, bathroom, restaurant, rental car, bus or terminal, etc... could transmit it. I'm not sure 100% what you're getting at, but I don't think there's anywhere near enough evidence to suggest airborne transmission at this point in time. Should we try to plan for worst-case scenario? Sure... but I wouldn't be too quick to start handing out masks to the general public or anything like that, yet. [/QUOTE]
