Implausible conclusion, and btw the researchers are more cautious. Look at this video made by other 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 … https://twitter.com/zeynep/status/1251556084424347649 …

The researchers in the very article you cite say that AC can push both. BTW it's been reported previously that such studies can't differentiate between droplets and aerosols. But it was for influenza, so doesn't count I guess

Let's quote the real study again, "Virus-laden small (<5 μm) aerosolized droplets can remain in the air and travel long distances, >1 m (4). Potential aerosol transmission of severe acute respiratory syndrome and Middle East respiratory syndrome viruses has been reported (5,6)."

"Moreover, the smear samples from the air conditioner were all nucleotide negative. This finding is less consistent with aerosol transmission."
