Covid: Where on Earth is it Safe?
Let's take a look at the density of coronaviruses and how they act when released into the atmosphere (exclusive of droplets for I'm not a physicist and I don't know how to calculate that variable). The density of coronaviruses is about 1.225 kg/m³. So, we need to get to an area where the density is lower than that because then the virus will sink--hopefully, like a lead balloon. First, you need to calculate the air pressure at a certain altitude. (go here ) Once you have a number for air pressure at your chosen altitude, you then go here to calculate the density of air and you want to see a number that is less than 1.225 kg/m³ which is the density of coronaviruses. I found these numbers. A pressure of 13.88 psi would be found at 1500 feet above sea level at a temperature of 32°F. The air temperature was left cold at 32°. Relative humidity was set at 50%. That gave us an air density of 1.21905 kg/m³; and that ensures that the coronavirus will sink rather tha...
