These threads are awful because "droplet" and "aerosol" don't have good fixed definitions, and because people misuse the word "airborne" to mean "aerosol".

- lmilcin 6y agoYes, there is a lot of education problem when you want to discuss anything virus related. Aerosol == small droplets of water. Airborne, particles == no droplet, just leftover of an aerosol that dried out in less than 100% humid air. It would not be the first time that health-related article on an economic website gets physics wrong.
