New airflow study shows how to prevent COVID spread inside a vehicle

NEW YORK - A new study looking at how airflow inside a vehicle impacts the risk of getting COVID-19 may help keep people healthier.With many New Yorkers opting for taxis or other ride-sharing services instead of mass transit during the pandemic, it's become difficult to socially distance when operating or riding in a vehicle. So researchers from Brown University and the University of Massachusetts Amherst developed a computer simulation to learn how air flows in a confined space, like a car.“It showed us that you don’t necessarily need to open all the windows,” said Varghese Mathai, a professor of physics who worked on the study.RELATED: Ford's cop cars can now kill coronavirus with extreme heat The worst thing to do is to keep the windows

Trey Songz Faces Major Backlash For Hosting 500-Person Club Party After Recovering From COVID-19

Trey Songz came under fire after holding a 500-person indoor “Champagne Saturdays” event at the Aftermath night club in Columbus, Ohio, per the New York Post. During the Dec. 5 event, undercover agents observed roughly 500 people fill the 15,000-square foot space to watch Trey, 36, perform. “Most of the crowd,” per the Post, was maskless.
