New question: Can a virus travel in air without hitching a ride on water droplets? How far?

It’s my understanding that this virus can travel quite far, or at least linger in the air, once the water droplets evaporate, because it’s so small and light. Is that correct?

How do you convert "quite" to meters? Can't find a converter on Google for that.

People move, the air moves. The virus stays suspended in the air.

With coughs? up to 27 feet WIthout a lot of air movement the aerosol can linger for up to 3 hours Enough ventilation with outside air shortens the time 2 open doors to the outside ventilate a room in 7 minutes Modern, energy efficient offices lack windows that can opened

Coughing, sneezing, and exhaling expel water droplets which contain the virus. For the virus to exit the body without water droplets, your lungs, throat, mouth, sinuses, and nasal passages would have to be dust dry. That only happens in fiction.

They don't travel out of your lungs unless they are hitching a ride on water droplets. If they make it out of body, they are surrounded by fluid. And by this means, they can become aerosol. And thenwater breaks down to become gas to float in the air up to 3 hours.

Problem is, how long can a virus live without a moist host? And how did it manage to separate itself from that moist host?
