Although today's current events are mostly people driven one has to wonder if some of this virus was spread by upper air currents let alone drift in a breeze lets say. There are many common viruses and bacteria on all continents. One theory says the get there in upper air currents.

I've seen documentaries where it's show that sand from a desert in Africa can wind up in other continents via air currents. If sand can be carried thousands of miles why not microscopic matter.

Part of the reason I bring this up I just saw some reports that some want social distancing around 20 ft to protect from the airborne droplets of a cough or sneeze. Also seeing controversial reports of covid19 being carried by water spray or that it can survive public water systems.
