That agrees that the virus is mostly transmitted via droplets rather aerosolized virus particles. A bare virus can float in the air for quite a while but all the evidence we have, especially stuff like form that site, seems to show that that isn't a route by which people are being infected. Instead its being transmitted over shorter distances, generally around 6 feet but longer if someone is shouting, singing, coughing without covering, or just directly downwind.
- darkerside 6y ago??? It talks about miniscule droplets that could stay in the air for minutes, and move downwind quite easily.
- jobigoud 6y agoI think what the parent commenter is saying is that maybe the virus stays in the air like that but it's not a way in which people get infected, otherwise the clusters wouldn't be so tight. Any tracing would be impossible for example. One possibility is that you need a threshold amount of virus to infect you so close contact is necessary.
