In the first article you posted it reads:

> To date, transmission of SARS-CoV-2 by this type of aerosol route has not been demonstrated; much more research is needed given the possible implications of such route of transmission.

That seems to be in direct opposition to your statement, correct? Or am I missing something.

Well, I forgot the WHO still does not think aerosol transmission is likely. But they do have a section on airborne spread that exceeds most people's expectations.

The thing is -- why assume it can't form aerosols and that those aerosols aren't infectious? By demanding evidence for aerosol formation that is what they are stating. It makes no sense. Most viruses do form aerosols, and those aerosols do seem to be infectious.
