It's a question plaguing the minds of many and what's left of the mind of Joe Biden.
Simply put: can farting spread the coronavirus?
According to a report in the New York Post, several doctors have tried to tackle that question both on social media and in a podcast, discussing whether or not farting has the possibility of spreading COVID-19. No pun intended, but two doctors "Down Under" were weighing in on how the virus can spread.
On Twitter, Dr. Andy Tagg, an emergency physician at Western Health in California, posted a thread diving into whether farts can carry the virus, and found that while there wasn’t much research on the subject, the only study found that farting while pantless could potentially be risky, especially on elevators, which would beg the question as to why would someone go without pants on an elevator?
The New York Post reported that on a podcast between two doctors, one of them, Dr. Norman Swan, suggested that farting without pants would not be advised and that it would be safer if people “don’t fart close to other people" [especially in a biker bar].
Dr. Aaron E. Glatt, an epidemiologist at Mount Sinai South Nassau, told the New York Post in an email that there have been studies to suggest that a high number of coronavirus patients show gastrointestinal symptoms while infected, and you know what that means.
Glatt told the New York Post that “there are no published data on whether flatulence alone presents any risk of transmission, although in a clothed person, it would be unlikely to be a significant route of transmission.”

This is likely due to the notion that if one is wearing underwear, it serves as a butt mask.
