But to get that submicron particle aerosolized would require a lot of energy. Nebulizers and metered dose inhalers can generate those but a sneeze is not likely to bust-up bronchial oral fluids into particles anywhere near micron size.

I am pretty sure. Well...

To your point - "airborne" should mean aerosolized where you can have a viable virus suspended in the air for dozens of minutes and available for inhalation.

Coughs and sneezes produce 99.999% "sprays" where even those ~1 micron particles will settle within a minute. In any case I bought N95 masks and will start carrying those around in my briefcase.

Try 12 hours from 5 feet.....

See slide 12.

Better get a better filter than N95.

I hope your gross misinformation doesn't cost anyone their life.
