Exposure to cough aerosols and development of pulmonary COVID-19

Half a year after the emergence of COVID-19, research is still going on to gain insight in the importance of different SARS-CoV-2 transmission routes and their impact on the clinical picture of COVID-19. Our findings suggest that coughing is not as important for transmission as initially anticipated and we discuss the potentially important role for loud conversation as a driver for transmission.
