      Implausible. Look at this video made by Japanese researchers studying aerosol. Especially, the final part on how aerosols behave when there is a flow of air. https://player.vimeo.com/video/402577241?fbclid=IwAR2TM6RrHnxbtU3aHXXQ6WOa5O11D7gvXI7lx8Y7-wz0s9aqJUNQh16BosI …

      Oh, man. They even have a million places where they say "micro-droplets" and explain what they're doing, but can't stop you from misreading it. Implausible, as in what? It's a real study, real people, real results. (Also your video actually is supportive of their findings).

      You are confused. Microdroplets is another term for "aerosols"

      The size is a range & terminology is confusing but when people say aerosols they mean the ones that float and float and float and float. That would have infected the whole restaurant. By the way, the above is a REAL STUDY not a simulation or video. (Sneezing: known-risk factor).

      A simulation or a video cannot trump a real study. We will learn more but this is a very real study where only 10 people out of 93 potential was infected. Anyway, carry on.

          The real study doesn't exclude aerosol transmission The flow would have carried the aerosols where required. And there is evidence from influenza research that very few aerosol particles are needed to infect.

          BTW I suggest you look into influenza transmission research. In the biggest human challenge study people ioculated intranasally didn't have lower resp tract involvement (and much aerosol emission) almost couldn't infect anyone
