"Building is like Swiss cheese", is a better takeaway from this.
Hardly earth-shaking.

Ah, well, there's always a probability density function that.... oh never mind.
I saw another theory that gases from excreted virus could contain it and get you through the drains...
Quantum tunnelling in the context of SARS-CoV-2 infection - Scientific Reports
The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has added new urgency to the study of viral mechanisms of infection. But while vaccines offer a measure of protection against this specific outbreak, a new era of pandemics has been predicted. In addition to this, COVID-19 has drawn attention to post-viral syndromes and...

INteresting article, thanks. I'd seen effects proposed wrt GPCRs for a few years, but not all that.Quantum tunnelling in the context of SARS-CoV-2 infection - Scientific Reports

I'd like to see their proposal for the Hamiltonian for getting a virus through a wall, though. My comment was, I'd have thought obviously, tongue in cheek.
Quantum effects are quite literally everywhere, which we're fumbling still(afaik) to understand. Photosynthesis is perhaps the most famous, but don't forget sight, or migrations, or um, reproduction.

Lets cut it down to the bone shall we. Quantum tunnelling by a virus is up there with the greats, like 'particle numasisis' & 'photon neuropophy' & anyone who is involved in such subjects on DiyNot must surely be a genius.
I have PM'd Justin with a request that I be the one selected to bear it's children.

It's "its children", not "it's children", some people manage to understand more things than others. Effort, mostly.
"numasisis" doesn't exist,
neither does
"neuropophy".
Boffins, quite significantly. Bletchley Park, Radar, computation of elliptic functions for unheard-of things, and on and on. Bright people working out how stuff works. The Krauts were pretty good too, it must be said.
I haven't referred to anything a kid wouldn't be hitting in a typical first year undergrad techy course. On things which were heard of then, I would have been 18. I remember Maxwell's equations were week 1 - a revelation. Einstein's work is mostly only A level. None of it needs a genius. It's all on shoulders of giants. Dirac was my fave.
A whole virus wouldn't tunnel - I can't leave you with that impression. It's theoretical only; it would be overwhelmingly unlikely.
