That is a weird wording on the last sentence, because the virus doesn’t transmit by magic. All epidemiologists I’ve read sofar seem to speak of mostly droplet transmission with some role for aerosols, which is indeed still studied afaik.
- autokad 6y agothere is a growing number of those that believe the virus also transmits airborne. droplet != airborne.
- Spooky23 6y agoAny good links for that? I haven’t seen anything beyond speculation that suggests that, and the patterns of infection in places I’m aware of aren’t consistent with airborne.

- prox 6y agoAerosols are basically floating particles with virus, which is not airborne, but still carries the virus a lot further.
- IncRnd 6y agoI agree. That is why the article for this post is so odd. It links to many pages that do not support what is being stated. It's almost as if they chose 100 random places to link, possibly from only looking at the first hits on google searches.
