Same goes with inhaling sneezes or coughs. This is obviously direct exposure, same as it would be if a TB patient coughed on you.

How the hell is that not considered airborne then? Sounds VERY contagious to me especially in high population areas and close quarters like publiuc transportation in urban populations.

No cough is “dry.” When you cough, you expel mucous in one form or another. If that liquid comes into contact with your eyes, inside your nose, or your mouth in any way, it can now spread into your body. Unbroken skin is not an effective vector for infection. If it’s on your skin and comes into contact with one of the aforementioned body parts, however, good luck!

“Airborne” means that it can float through the air and exist just by inhalation alone. THAT would be truly terrifying. Truth is that most infections are introduced through poor hygiene, lack of handwashing before eating, etc.
