this is called aerosol

it can not just travel that far it can float in the air for hours. This is why being in doors where air filtration isn't as good is worse than being ooutside, of course in winter now people don't want to be outside as much.

I think for years the medical community denied that any viruses could spread via aerosol. Just because the health insurance companies wanted to deny it because they didn't want to provide treatment for people that got sick thru those means. Or because big businesses didn't want to spend more money on HVAC flitration systems. Now they still are not admitting this while at the same time recommending masks which won't do much but will help maybe like 5% to stop corona. I really don't think governors want to order lockdowns which hurt the economy but feel they have no choice to stop this.

Second hand smoke from ciggs spreads thru aerosol and we can see the smoke with our own eyes, smell it with our noses, so that is not as controvrsial altho many still hate that we can't smoke indoors in most places. This corona is like breathing out cancer causing smoke 24/7 not just when you're smoking.

Brownian motion explains the scientific principle where as these things can float, you'd thing gravity would pull it right down but it is less dense than the molecules in the air.
