DESCRIPTION:The<br>Royal Society initiative to provide Rapid Assistance in
  Modelling the Pandemic<br>(RAMP) has garnered a large number of scientist
 s across the UK working<br>voluntarily in a wide range of issues associate
 d with the current pandemic. In<br>this talk I will describe the outputs o
 f the fifty odd scientists with<br>expertise\, broadly speaking\, in fluid
  mechanics who have been considering<br>aspects of the airborne transmissi
 on of the virus. Post lockdown major risks of<br>infection are associated 
 with occupancy of public buildings such as<br>restaurants\, schools\, and 
 other places where people congregate indoors\, and in<br>public transporta
 tion. I will describe what we have learnt over the past couple<br>of month
 s about the impact of building ventilation\, the deposition of droplets\,<
 br>modes of exhalation and inhalation and other factors such as the effect
 s of<br>occupancy levels and the movement of people in these indoor enviro
 nments\, and<br>what seem to be the key outstanding questions.
