Airborne transmission: Airborne transmission is infection spread through exposure to those virus-containing respiratory droplets comprised of smaller droplets and particles that can remain suspended in the air over long distances (usually greater than 6 feet) and time (typically hours).
No evidence at this point that it acts in this manner with the POSSIBLE exception being enclosed spaces with inadequate ventilation. Your feelings about what constitutes "airborne transmission" do not match what actual people who study transmission define it as.
" Droplet transmission consists of exposure to larger droplets, smaller droplets, and particles when a person is close to an infected person. Airborne transmission consists of exposure to smaller droplets and particles at greater distances or over longer times."
And that's why the CDC hasn't revised their recommendations. Droplet transmission through close contact is considered the greatest risk of exposure and transmission.
