> although aerosolization in medical settings where aerosol generating procedures are used is also another possible mode of transmission

I'm married to a physician and have been primarily following this through the eyes of her and her peers. In an acute care setting, aerosolization is a huge concern. It's a big factor between being able to get away with a surgical mask/face shield and requiring significant PPE.

In daily life, this probably isn't a huge concern (or a significant means of transmission at a public health level).



Sure, absolutely. If you're in the business of intubating people on a daily basis, then it's a real concern.
