Yeah, I really wish the game had executed that plot better, because the potential was amazing.

Why Speaking English May Spread More Coronavirus Than Other Languages

So does that mean that Ibaraki and other backwater areas of Japan are more at risk of COVID-19 from all of their だっぺ-ing all over the place
In the end it said that it did not have much of a scientific significance, but I guess the point is, wear a mask!
I mean... Yeah, when a language request to "stick out" your tongue through your teeth all the fucking time, one would expect that there's more droplets going out of your mouths (and it's so awkward to do for me). And the "P" in english tend to be explosive so more air is expected doing so.
So not that surprised, some languages move more air and spit than others.

The TH sound. Like in 'teeth' or 'theory' or 'the'.
It's not an easy sound for a lot of non-English speakers to replicate. It's why French people often say 'ze' instead of 'the'.
Yeah that's a difficult one to learn for a second language. Typologically pretty uncommon too. However it's not something that is proposed to lead to a high amount of corona aerosoles, and if you're doing it right, there shouldn't be spit flying.
Yup. It's so weird for me, it took me years to manage to do it properly (or close to).
And while it might not be sending spit fly everywhere, it at least should expose a bit more to external air.
I would advice people to check out the journal this study was published in... It's not actually a properly peer-reviewed scientific journal.
i thought about this months ago, maybe Finland didn't get hit too hard because many of us avoid talking and if we talk we speak quietly, and our language isn't very "spitty".
i also thought about Thailand, isnt their language very lacking in spitty sounds? (really not an expert though lol) and their infection rates have stayed minimal... hmmm.
i did study phonetics and linguistics back in the day and from what i remember air flow was really different between English and Finnish. hmm hmm.

Until is peer reviewed just because it say research don't mean much. Most of the research don't lead to anything.
Aussie, NZ and Singapore speak English, no need to find fancy reason(or excuse) for the state of the coronavirus pandemic when they most likely one will do.

Sure seems something that wearing a mask could easily prevent. Hmmm
"Eu não consigo dizer isso".
Posso (poder) implies authorization to some degree. If you say "Não posso abrir a porta", it doesn't mean that you can't because of physical inability, but rather because of some instruction preventing you.
Consigo (conseguir) implies actual ability. "Não consigo abrir a porta" means you can't physically open it.
Makes sense?
On-topic: This does not bode well for the US/UK.
We're about 9 months away from science discovering people can survive without their lungs by breathing through their skin.
lol this person like shouts "PPPPPppen" like pauses after "a" and gears up for maximum pen explosion.
