I think one of us is misreading things.
> with regards to Japan, actively promoted the airborne nature of COVID-19 early on. I remember seeing specials on NHK visualising the spread from a sneezing person in a room in March 2020.
Sneezing would be the droplets distribution theory, which is now "debunked". If the virus is airborne, there's no need to sneeze to spread it.

Do you not find sneezing to be a highly effective method of spreading airborne pathogens? > If the virus is airborne, there's no need to sneeze to spread it. You’re essentially saying, “if the virus was airborne it could be spread through coughs too” to which the NHK study says, “yes, and sneezes.” But they studied coughs too https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=H2azcn7MqOU https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=H2azcn7MqOU
