Yes or no, does the virus travel through the air by itself?

You like to play gotcha — it is obvious. Trying to have this conversation with you is like educating a 3rd grader on calculus — please go educate yourself. There is a lot of reading for you to do and then you can be proud that you have an answer based on text book and scientific process, not Dr. google

I know the answer after years of advanced study and practice. Go educate yourself.

That's a dumb question. At one level the answer is yes, of course it does like any other particle of the same size. At a more useful level the question is does the virus tend to be expelled in sufficient quantities and survive in the air long enough, and end up in sufficient concentrations to be infectious. And the answer to that, from published research, seems to be yes, in some circumstances. What is apparently not well known is the distribution of droplet sizes carrying significant viral loads generated by people and how fast they disperse, drop to the ground, or otherwise become non-infectious.

Some data suggests that people singing or talking loudly in crowds generate the type and number of droplets that can cause transmission in interior spaces.
