Air isn't a liquid, but the virus is contained within a tiny bubble of water as I understand it.
Atmospheric CO2 change acidifying the oceans is a well known effect [1]. Once it's pointed out it isn't surprising that a tiny bubble of water surrounded by atmosphere would change PH quickly in response to atmospheric CO2 levels (the surface area to volume ratio is huge compared to the ocean after all). Nor that that affects viruses.
