Um.. it is airborne, that is why there are multiple super-spreader events that can’t be explained by someone interacting within 3-6 feet for 10 minutes. (e.g. cases of 1 to 100, 1:500 case reported as well).
If you walked into an empty hospital room that was just used with high air-virion density, you could get infected, that is why they decontaminate with the equipment you see.
I think the main reason this isn’t being communicated is because we will never have enough N95 masks to mitigate this (would need 5-10 years of 24/6 production to fill govt. stockpiles).
I would bet that you are right, but it is still a controversial opinion, and droplet transmission is probably still a major factor. Plenty of research supports the claim, although some studies conclude that it is only significant when the spreader has a high viral load:
Ok - these multiple superspreader events... do you mean 100's or 10's or a few? And when you say "can't be explained " really? Can you provide some back up to this information?
