Open your windows while eating Christmas dinner: A parable emerges as fresh air sweeps away coronavirus grains in a dining room
- Experts from Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence in Japan simulated
- Look at what happens to granules that have been passed from the mouth of an infected person
- Exposure to open windows and doors to improve ventilation greatly affects the number of infectious particles in the room
A terrifying new video highlights the dangers people take in having a Christmas dinner with someone who lives in another home.
It shows how coronavirus particles in a typical British dining room that are expelled from someone ‘s mouth circulate and infect others.
Experts from Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence in Japan built a model to show the level of risk that an asymptomatic person poses to others at a table.
The engineers hope their simulation will help individuals and families assess the risk of courtship over the Christmas period.
The researchers worked on a room dimensions of 4.9mx 3.7m (16ft x 12ft) and ran two versions of their simulation, with the room unventilated (left) and another with two windows and an open door, each for ten minutes (right)
The researchers worked on room dimensions of 4.9mx 3.7m (16ft x 12ft) and ran two versions of their simulation, with the room closed without ventilation and another with two windows and an open door, each. for ten minutes.
In the videos the researchers map the particles that have been ejected from a person’s mouth during breathing and regular speech.
This causes a slight spread of grain compared to coughing or sneezing.
‘Hexagon engineers in Japan created the simulation as part of a public education effort, to help authorities and the public understand how best to protect themselves and each other from the spread of COVID-19,’ said Keith Perrin, Business Director for Hexagon to MailOnline.
‘Being Japanese, they were used to socializing and consuming PPE when they were ill, so they were fascinated by other ideas.’
Heat from radiators, food and people sitting around a dinner table removes grains towards the roof but if there is not enough ventilation they have no place to escape to and must return down and swim around the room.
However, if there is adequate ventilation from open windows, the grains are immediately removed and removed from others.
‘Good ventilation is essential – just make sure there are so many windows and doors open to circulate the air and the grains don’t build up,’ says Mr Perrin.

If there is adequate ventilation from open windows, infectious particles will be removed immediately and away from others.
‘Social distance is important no matter what the ventilation of the room, but it is not impossible – the unaltered simulation shows that the number of infectious grains is picking up and traveling longer than the recommended minimum distance of 2m, so having airflow in the room is very important to increase the efficiency of social distance.
‘However, at the end of this section, some elements compare the effects of an open window.’
He states, based on the calculations, that an infected person in an unoccupied room would go on to catch six more.
However, in an average ventilated dining room, statistically no one else would be contagious.
This simple attempt leads to a major statistical change.
‘To give you an idea, over three transmission repeats, assuming similar situations, mathematically that’s 215 fewer people infected!’ he says.
‘Our research shows that “if it does” is not a “when” referral, it is a’ when ‘question.’
The team at Hexagon has used their knowledge throughout the pandemic to show humans how invisible droplets and aerosols can spread without human knowledge.
One of their videos shows how it is better to restrain an elbow than to stop it at all, but it can still endanger those nearby.
Another look showed what can happen if a person is not wearing a mask on the tube or train.
As you walk down the narrow aisle of BEHIND an infected person increases their risk of catching Covid-19
Examination of a coronavirus transmitted from the mouth of a person found in a tight spot as a passage can go behind for several seconds, a study warns.
The discovery comes from computer simulations that show how grains behave after being surrounded by someone walking on.
Air and swirling vortexes allow the particles to float at mid-height in the air up to 16 feet (five meters) behind the infected person, creating major problems for social distance and increasing the risk of infection for children. .
Researchers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing used a 1.8m (5ft 11in) man walking at 1.5m / s (3.5mph) for example.
What happened if he coughed, without a face mask, was shaped in wide open spaces and also in a narrow passage.
Previous studies have focused almost exclusively on the spread of infectious grains in unauthorized locations. This new study examined how hate behaviors differ if they are physically punished.
They found that, when walking in confined spaces, air droplets carrying the deadly virus follow a specific pattern, known as the ‘unconnected mode’.
Computer images show grains being moved behind a person by the air currents they make while walking and a cloud of droplets separates from the body and creates a levitating blob of infectious aerosol several feet on it. the back of the individual.
