A room, a bar and a classroom: how the coronavirus is spread through the air
The risk of contagion is highest in indoor spaces but can be reduced by applying all available measures to combat infection via aerosols. Here is an overview of the likelihood of infection in three everyday scenarios, based on the safety measures used and the length of exposure.

From the OP:
Quote:
Last I heard, this virus is not an aerosol. In other words, the droplets are too heavy to hang in the air for any length of time. Is this new information? I don't see a date on this article. When was this information published? I've also read that it is almost impossible to contract the virus outdoors when temperatures are above 77 degrees. Has that changed? Now after months and months of stringent hand washing and using sanitizer, we are told that it's not likely that the virus can be caught by touching surfaces. I'm not sure what my point is here other than it's very difficult to know what to believe.
