"Limited person-to-person spread of infection has been reported in disease-endemic areas in Africa"
"Human-to-human transmission occurs through close proximity or direct physical contact (e.g., face-to-face, skin-to-skin, mouth-to-mouth, mouth-to-skin contact including during sex) with skin or mucous membranes that may have recognized or unrecognized infectious lesions such as mucocutaneous ulcers, respiratory droplets (and possibly short-range aerosols), or contact with contaminated materials (e.g., linens, bedding, electronics, clothing)."[1]
"Intubation and extubation, and any procedures likely to spread oral secretions should be performed in an airborne infection isolation room."[2]

Nowhere does it says that it is airborne.
Maybe I'm missing something here, but is the above not the definition of airborne?
Aerosols are heavier than air, and therefore have a very limited range and duration in which the virus can remain "airborne" in common parlance.
(edit: expanded the definition to include more than just viruses as I couldn't find an example of a virus that can survive unencapsulated)
a technique known as 'shadowbanning'
