Es geht auf tiefsinnige Studien, die die erstaunliche Tatsache entdeckt haben, dass
Konsonanten bei der Verbreitung von Covid wesentlicher sind.

"According to a linguist from RUDN University, the number of COVID-19 cases
in a country might be related to the existence of aspirated consonants
in its main language of communication. This data can help create more
accurate models to describe the spread of COVID-19. The results of the
study were published in the Medical Hypotheses journal."

"COVID-19 is transmitted through sneezing and coughing, which constitute its basic symptoms, due to the high velocity of droplets produced by these activities; however, recent studies have demonstrated that a large quantity of droplets may be produced even by talking or breathing [2], [3]. Studies with respect to the effect of phoneme type (the main sound unit of speech) on the production of droplets are only few in number. For example [1], argued that SARS, which could be transmitted through droplets, did not infect one to three millions of Japanese who travelled to China in 2000, while American visitors in China at the same period were infected. The author added that Japanese aspirated stops like /p/, which are said to produce a lot of droplets, are not used that much in Japanese compared to English. Therefore, he concluded that the fact that Chinese shop assistants who might have been speaking to Japanese tourists in Japanese but to American tourists in English might explain the zero infection of Japanese tourists."

"The worst you could say. Certain consonants, such as "p" and "b," produce more droplets than others, according to experiments.
One way that COVID-19 spreads is through saliva droplets emitted during speech, but the precise mechanism that creates the droplets in the mouth is not well understood. Now Manouk Abkarian of the University of Montpellier, France, and Howard Stone of Princeton University have recorded high-speed video of the mouth of a volunteer speaking various sounds [1]. The duo uncovered the droplet production process and identified the consonants, such as "p" and "t," that most effectively generate droplets when spoken. They also found that lip balm interferes with droplet formation and can dramatically reduce the number of droplets emitted."
