Only partially correct. The droplets from sneezing or coughing are not defined as an aerosol. However, they are quite infective.
Below links are pictures of sneezes and coughs using an high speed camera. You will not like what you see.

I agree a sneeze like that is infective. Furthermore the saliva samples from new patients in Africa tested positive earlier than other body fluids. It is a threat, and I am not trivializing it. But it is not aerosolized like influenza virus. If that were the case there would be thousands of new cases a day in the big cities in West Africa instead of sporadic spread.
Yeah, they’re using weasel words. Technically, the common cold and influenza aren’t airborne either.
