This is at room temperature, so it will survive longer in the cold. Outdoors it will disperse, but indoors it will hang around which is why going to pubs is such a bad idea.
There is online documentation of studies of Aerosol transmission in hospitals going back 40-50yrs. I had however taken these to mean from equipment used that create sprays, eg ventilators, but it seems that it's formal use is simply suspended in air. And even as recently as a few days ago the picture doesn't seem clear:

So how about shops, buses, etc etc. Well to be honest I'm not going anywhere by bus but I have to go to the shops unless there is a change there. Probably should have signed up for on-line shopping.

Maybe need to dig out my chainsaw protective gear and sanding masks.

All might change again after 8.30pm, PM's next broadcast. And to think Notts were playing just a week ago and there was divided opinion as to whether the Torquay game should go ahead.
