Simulating a Sneeze
Sneezing and coughing can spread pathogens both through large droplets and through tiny, airborne aerosols. Understanding how the nasal cavity shapes the aerosol cloud a sneeze produces is critical to understanding and predicting how viruses could spread. Toward that end, researchers built a “sneeze simulator” based on the upper respiratory system’s geometry. With their simulator, the team mimicked violent exhalations both with the nostrils open and closed — to see how that changed the shape of the aerosol cloud produced.
The researchers found that closed nostrils produced a cloud that moved away along a 18 degree downward tilt, whereas an open-nostril cloud followed a 30-degree downward slope. That means having the nostrils open reduces the horizontal spread of a cloud while increasing its vertical spread. Depending on the background flow that will affect which parts of a cloud get spread to people nearby. (Image and research credit: N. Catalán et al.; via Physics World)

By the by, if you use your dishwasher to clean glass jars and bottles before putting them in the recycling, make sure to rinse out any spicy stuff as well as you can beforehand.
If you don’t do that, you’ll end up with a dishwasher that’s basically full of CS gas, at least if your spouse doesn’t know this and then puts in a jar with some jerk sauce left in it.
On the upside, now she’s not a big fan of the cops tear gassing protestors.
Yo what up it's time to shoot some things as a dog or something. With Yami!

Some people will see that it's running, and that they are still recovering and think "I'm not running in that. I did and my "short run" project was changed to a full run. I had planned to run two to three kilometres but ran five instead. The Apple watch wasn't happy, not with the running, but with the rain. It got a false tap and paused itself for 300 or more meters.
The rain was quite heavy. Heavy enough to get the trousers and the shoes wet, and heavy enough to get the hat wet, but not so heavy as to soak my core, which was quite welcome. The advantage of running or doing anything on a rainy day is that most people stay indoors so we have fewer people to avoid.
I am still coughing and still do not feel recovered, but yesterday I felt good. Today I feel that the cold is still lingering. I miss feeling good. I will not hesitate to mask in future.
Some people will see rain and think "No way am I running in this weather but I don't think that way. If you go for a run, or a bike ride you will heat up, and you will be wet from effort, so whether it's raining, or sunny the result is the same. The key difference is that in rain you'll be less salty.
I made sure that my core remained warm for the duration of the run. As long as the core is warm we're fine.
As I write this post today I notice that it's very windy today. I can hear the roof react as it's loaded with wind every so often. I can see that branches are swaying and I suspect that the lake is covered in sea horses today. If I had waited, to run today, then the wind would be my challenge, today. I'd rather run in rain, than wind.
I look forward to feeling well again.

On Sunday, less than a week ago I was on a train. I could hear someone coughing, and coughing. She sat in the seats a set of seats in front of the group of people I was with. I could hear the bronchial cough and I considered masking but didn't and now I regret it.
Over the last two days I have had a sore throat and last night I didn't sleep much so I chose to listen to podcasts with my eyes closed.
At Four AM I was meant to get up to run at 0530 but aborted that idea. If I had run in this state I might have been sick, and I would have suffered. It would have been nice to run with such a brilliant moon. I can try next year.
Some people might find it paradoxical that I consider this a victory. Usually when I hear someone coughing, whether in shopping centres, or trains, even outdoors, I mask. This time I didn't mask and that's a victory. It's a victory because I controlled my reflex to mask. It's a victory because it's normal to catch a cold every so often.
On the flipside if I had not caught this cold I could have run this morning in the moonlight, and tomorrow I could hike to La Dôle, and then on Sunday I could walk in the Canton of Geneva. Now I have the frustration of not knowing how long I will feel sub-optimal.
And Finally
I see this as a pyrrhic victory because I resisted the urge to mask, which is great because I'm normal, but at the same time I could have avoided falling sick. Not masking in this context was absurd. I find the masks I wear comfortable. From now on I will feel more confident in masking in situations where I calculate there is a risk. Despite not being on top form I still managed to write a normal blog post today.
#US health officials confirm four new #birdflu cases, in #Colorado #poultry #workers, Independent {Mike Stobbe}: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/colorado-ap-cdc-michigan-texas-b2579749.html
Their illnesses were relatively mild — reddened and irritated #eyes and common #respiratory infection symptoms like #fever, #chills, #coughing, sore #throat and runny #nose. None were hospitalized, officials said. The other U.S. cases have also been mild.
