The same article then also goes on to reason why this doesn't seem to be the dominant way of transmission outside special circumstances (like ventilation).
I don't have a background in this topic at all, but apparently actual airborne viruses are really small: Measles is about 200 nm and Influenza about 100 nm in diameter, while Sars-Cov-2 is about 1000 nm, so 5 to 10 times the diameter and thus 100 to 1000 times the mass.
- maxerickson 5y agoMy point is that the WHO is literally, in recent releases, contradicting the usage you claim was primarily a communication error. Their measles info page doesn't even talk about airborne. https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/measles https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/measles
