Video #20 COVID-19: Through the air, from person to person

In this program, Richard Trudgen and Djiniyini Gondarra are joined by microbiologist, Dr Kerry Mills. She explains how coronavirus can move from one person to another in three different ways, when people cough, sneeze or speak. When they do any of these things, little tiny droplets of fluid come out of their body. And within these droplets, there can be thousands or even millions of viruses.

The traditional worldview of Yolŋu means they want in-depth, science-based information in order to understand any new topic. This is what Yolŋu call the “dhuḏi-dhäwu” – the deep true story. This full series of videos attempts to answer some of their questions from a Yolŋu worldview, using their linguistic construction of knowledge.

Video #21 COVID-19: Viruses floating in the air
Dr Kerry Mills explains that when you cough, sneeze, or speak, the droplets that come out of your body are different sizes. The big ones are heavier so they drop to the ground, but the little droplets float into the air. These are the most dangerous because they cannot be seen. You can talk about them in relation to being able to smell salt water from a long way from the beach. The difference however, is that salt water can be smelt, but you cannot smell the little droplets with viruses in them.
