Yes this virus is almost assuredly aerosol borne. Sadly the CDC still pearl clutches to the droplet transmission model why one should ask is the real question. Well I will tell you why an aerosol virus is nearly impossible to protect against without full positive pressure suits for anyone within tens of meters of the infected think outbreak the movie suits.
Everyone must not only wear them but also property wear them and get in and out of them without cross contamination. People also do not understand the concept of aerosol particles the simplest way to see them is on a cold day go outside and just breathe out , not sneeze not cough just calmly exhale...now see that smoke those are tens of thousands of micron sized water droplets that just condensed from the water vapor in your lungs each and everyone of those has tens to hundreds of virus in them if you are infected with a aerosol virus.
I spent time at Anniston Army depot working around the chemical weapons group we all had to be absolutely proficient in BL4/chem suits not MOP4 our gear was 3 levels up from that, all SCBA or portable electric positive pressure suits getting in and out of one without cross contamination is a skill that most health care workers do not have it takes weeks of practice. We used to take a bright blue dye syrup and drench the outside of the training suits then you had to get out of them without one speck of sticky anywhere on your body. No one I knew ever did it the first time or the second for that matter correctly.

Great description.

I wonder if these virus laden particles can travel in air currents across countries, continents, and oceans.
