If you can slow down the speed of the water particles the virus is traveling on that will presumably have a positive effect.

Speaking in a 'might help' frame of mind; directing the force of the cough down towards the ground so the virus settles is probably a pretty decent mitigation. Virus on the foot is a lot less likely to infect someone vs virus coughed into their face.

We're not dealing with a parasite; viruses can't move unless we move them.
