“The original case they did track the guy’s movements and his “close” contacts. I hope by now they realize it can transmit even without being “close”.”

I agree and that has concerned me from the beginning. The CDC keeps saying it spreads like the flu but tracking it this last month it appears to spread much more easily, as several have theorized aerosolized versus airborne.
Transmission in Italy, indeed all over Europe right now, appears to involve very little close contact.
The, “Well, in China they spit on the sidewalk and eat cats” meme is going out the window.
Okay, let's take this apart and deal in as much specifics as possible.
1) Doesn't "aerosolized" imply it *is* airborne?
2) What is considered a space distance away from an infected person for airborne vs aerosolized?
