Here's one report, for example, that denies airborne transmission: Sewage said carried the virus through Hong Kong high-rise .

They may deny it, but here's my take:

People in respiratory distress cough and their respiration is very harsh--and this virus sets up, among other areas in the body, in the lungs. They are going to shed virus when they cough. N95 masks and face shields would be absolutely pointless if there were not airborne transmission--it would be just like any other viral pneumonia.

Think on it--colds are spread NOT ONLY through doorknobs, but also through people sneezing and coughing.
