Correr acompañados por la muerte. 4,5 metros, una distancia imprudente.

14/04/2020 Redacción NOX

Si tenés que correr podés hacerlo, si no es elemental para tu vida, el concejo es que no lo hagas. Está comprobado que el Covid siempre te alcanzará. Pocos saben del tiempo y modo que este virus llega al otro para contagiarlo, un barbijo no alcanza, correr alejado de otro deportista tampoco asegura el fracaso del contagio. La estela que un corredor genera alrededor de su físico es de importancia, detrás o a su lado este virus puede esperar al próximo con una ventana de

La Figura muestra los contornos de la velocidad del aire en el plano central vertical para dos personas que corren en línea a una distancia de 4.5 m .

Se puede visualizar claramente la estela (en inglés llamada slipstream) detrás de cada uno de los corredores en una distancia de 4,5 metros, lo que nos muestra a las claras el gran peligro de » salir a correr «.

People running in park – marathon. Healthy lifestyle

Para el caso de dos personas inmóviles a 1,5 m de distancia, las gotas que se exhalan en los diferentes momentos en el tiempo, incrementadas con la sudoración las gotas son más grandes, provocando la caída más rápida, como se esperaba, el flugge flotado es mas espeso y persistente .
