Depends on the virus. Not all need a droplet

Well aren't we talking about COVID here?
Sure, but check your sentence's grammar; it implies you're asking as a general rule of biology.

As to COVID, dunno.

IIRC Covid is airborne so it doesn't need to travel on droplets.

But feel free to double-check that one. Everything surrounding Covid is so tied to politics and identity, it's easy to get things mixed up between actual studies that have actually demonstrated a thing and people just spouting off whatever just came out of their assholes.

In other words, I believe I read an article on how we know now that Covid doesn't need droplets to transmit, but it honestly could have just been someone saying that there was an article claiming that and I've just conflated being told there's an article with actually reading the thing.
