Yeah, I saw it too. The hypothesis, as I recall, is that the more virions inhaled, the more likely some of them will get deep in the lungs where they can do the most damage.

I read something like that too. I came away thinking that ingestion might be a better way to get it than inhalation. I think you really need to keep it out of the lungs and nervous system. But that's all my impression from who knows where.
