I'm tired of reading that it spreads through the air and so we should avoid indoor spaces where we share air. It spreads through droplets large enough for the gravity to pull them down relatively fast.
It's not measles, you can't contract it by breathing the same air someone infected did unless you're in a medical setting and AGP is performed on someone who's infected. If it was airborne, masks that aren't fitted wouldn't protect anyone: they wouldn't prevent absorbing nor would they prevent spreading.
All studies that point to it being airborne are from medical setting or are misrepresented in the media. For example there's a new one that circulates abbreviated to "air conditioned restaurants make SARS-CoV-19 airborne".
As for your source: it misrepresents SARS as airborne in the same way most other publications of this ilk do: by taking examples from medical setting and extrapolating from that. It even admits the setting but keeps the general "airborne" label for the sake of argument.
> SARS-CoV-1, did spread in the air. This was reported in several studies and retrospectively explained the pathway of transmission in Hong Kong’s Prince of Wales Hospital
Yes, this virus can become airborne if aerosol generating procedure is performed on an infected patient. But 1) you don't intubate people in restaurants, and 2) that's why PPE is so important for medical staff, because they do operate in conditions in which this virus can become airborne. That's also why you can't visit people in hospitals any more.
You can't do contact tracing of airborne infection that is this contagious. Measles hover in the room for hours after spraying and you can't trace down everyone who was doing groceries across 5h in your local market (I'm glad we have vaccine for measles). But you can do tracking and isolation of SARS-CoV-19 patients. Why? Because droplets are pulled down to surfaces and are no longer dangerous within seconds to minutes after spraying. But they do stay on surfaces, that's why hand hygiene is so important.
