ANALYSIS: JK Rowling's breathing technique 'cure' doesn't treat coronavirus. It could help spread it
Either way large sprays of viruses could infect other people.
In hospital, this risk is minimised by having specialised negative pressure rooms that remove the contaminated air. Patients wear masks to capture the sprays and clinical staff wear personal protective equipment, including masks and face shields. There are also strict infection control measures, such as limits on visitors and hand washing. Yet the risks of transmission remain high.
So why did JK Rowling endorse this technique? In essence, it's because she believed it helped her, and thought it would help others.for COVID-19, so it's not certain she had the infection. And she may or may not have benefited from the technique. Perhaps her symptoms may have improved by themselves anyway. It's hard to know.
