  You've completely misread that first study. > Aerosols (<5 μm) containing SARS-CoV-2 (105.25 50% tissue-culture infectious dose [TCID50] per milliliter) or SARS-CoV-1 (106.75-7.00 TCID50 per milliliter) were generated with the use of a three-jet Collison nebulizer and fed into a Goldberg drum to create an aerosolized environment. They intentionally created aerosols for the purposes of the study. The other studies relate to aerosols in hospitals, which are likely generated by those aerosol-generating procedures; intubation, nebulizers, etc. Healthcare staff are observing aerosol precautions when doing these procedures for this reason.
