The way someone explained it on here, if someone cuts an orange, and you smell it from a distance, that is aerosolized. The particles are smaller than airborne.
The interview with the American couple on the ship was what made me first think about it. Their daughter is a doctor in DC and spoke with someone at the CDC who said it was likely in the air circulating on the ship.
It depends on the environment.
In a closed one the virus would be transmitted, sure.
In an environment with air circulation, not so sure. But near objects would be infected on their surface nonetheless.

Agree - it certainly seemed to be the air in the ship. I wonder if they’ll actually investigate it, rather than just telling people to sanitize their hands every 5 minutes.
