We had evidence of airborne spread very soon after the virus broke out of China. Passengers of the cruise ship Diamond Princess were quarantined in their cabins and the virus continued to spread from cabin to cabin.

Look at how flu cases hit record lows globally, while Covid continued to spread like wildfire.
