One very important factor, however, is that there is no scientific consensus on whether the new coronavirus is airborne or not. Despite what many believe, there is no clear evidence that the coronavirus can be breathed in when an infected individual nearby exhales. Instead, COVID-19 is most likely transmitted via droplets, which are often spread on surfaces and people's hands.

The choir practice infection was airborne, and there are many other examples that were very likely airbone. The author has no clue was "scientific consensus" means. Is there evidence for airbrone? Yes, it's almost a certainty, the evidence is very strong.

Yep, even a layman could see this spreads way too readily for it to be only via droplets and fomites. This is measlelike in its infectiousness.

I have to chuckle at her 'masks won't protect the wearer but you should wear one if around someone with Covid' juxposition.
