Scientists and Medical Experts Develop New Theories About Spread of Coronavirus
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As coronavirus cases surge across the country, infectious disease and
medical experts are developing new theories about the spread of the
disease and its manifestations. In Washington state, a gathering of
asymptomatic choir singers earlier this month resulted in dozens of
cases of COVID-19, including two deaths. Scientists say it was likely
passed through the air, refuting earlier studies that say contagion via
aerosolized particles is highly unlikely. Meanwhile, cardiologists are
warning that some COVID-19 patients have worse cardiac symptoms than
respiratory ones, in some cases mimicking a heart attack.
