The work showed that "SARS-CoV-2 remained viable in aerosols throughout the duration of (the) experiment (3 hours), with a reduction in infectious titer from 10 3.5 to 10 2.7 TCID50 per liter of air. [2] [3] [4] These media articles' assertions include that SARS-Co V-2 can last "three hours after being coughed out into the air", 4 and that the van Doremalen et al. 2 The media even went as far as suggesting that the aerosols generated by the three-jet Collison nebulizer "duplicated the microscopic droplets created in a cough or a sneeze". It is for these reasons that the WHO and infection prevention specialists continue to support assertion that transmission of SARS-CoV-2 is primarily through droplets and contact (including indirect contact with contaminated surfaces).	./cache/cord-267917-belkwihy.txt	./txt/cord-267917-belkwihy.txt
