| Just breathing is enough to spread the flu finds new study Posted: 21 Jan 2018 03:36 AM PST  It may be easier to spread the influenza virus (flu) than previously thought according to new US research, which has found that simply breathing could be enough to transmit the virus to others. In the new study the team of researchers captured the influenza virus in exhaled breath from 142 confirmed cases of people with flu in four different situations -- during natural breathing, prompted speech, spontaneous coughing, and spontaneous sneezing. The team then assessed the infectivity of naturally occurring influenza aerosols -- tiny droplets that stay suspended in the air for a long time -- and found that a significant number of flu patients regularly shed the infectious virus into aerosol particles that are small enough to present a risk for airborne transmission.
