| Abstract | The spread of COVID-19 highlights the lack of guidelines and mitigation strategies for reducing the impact of a contagious virus in the absence of a vaccine. In fact, casual interactions, such as speaking, involving asymptomatic individuals are believed to play a significant role in virus transmission. Nevertheless, there are few quantitative studies of the influence of the phonetic features of speech on the spatial extent of the exhaled flows, nor are the corresponding airflows between a pair o |
