Just how are people without symptoms - no sneezing, no coughing - supposed to propel the virus through the air 6, 12, 24 feet?

I’m not buying everyone’s worst case scenarios. Even a virus needs some means of getting from A to B.

Watch someone smoking a cigarette. Then get back to me.

Just because you're not coughing doesn't mean you aren't expelling some liquid from your lungs. Your breath is decently humid, so just that could be spreading a virus. Likewise, saliva/eyejuice/any other bodily fluids get around. People touch their faces then other surfaces/other people all the time.

Sure, symptoms like cough or sneezing or open wounds definitely make transmission easier, but they aren't the only ways your body expels some bacteria or virus particles.
