Video #22 COVID-19: Breathe it in

In this program, Richard Trudgen and Djiniyini Gondarra are joined by Dr Kerry Mills, who explains the dangers of being inside a room if somebody who has the virus in their body. If they cough, sneeze, talk or even laugh, they can spread the virus into the air where other people will catch it. If someone breaths in one of these little drops, they could be breathing in thousands or millions of viruses into their body. Because the virus hangs around in the air, even if you enter a room hours after somebody else with the virus has been there, the virus can still be floating in the air.

 

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.

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.
