AIRBORNE REVIEW STUDIES
I was fed up with not having these in one place. so I set aside 30 minutes and, voila. I present this to you.

This is not all of the reviews, just the top ones. I likely missed some.

And so as not to mislead you into thinking this is a recent development, ONE from 1987

These people were never confused about 5um etc. 
Oh, re: the lab leak issue, enjoy last line. Again, from 1987.
And exposure to air leading to infection, and filtration slashing infection.
It's all there, if you are open to it.

Same article, 1987.
One day I just posted titles of airborne studies until I got bored.
It was a lot.
One might wonder how the experts missed all this ...

I said I would revisit with another set in a few days.

Let me be very clear. These reviews are all (mostly) written by people who work on aerosols. They are broad summaries of he field. Start here w reading.
That means they aren't public health people fooling around with an air sampler they just bought and unboxed. Not joking.

P.S. there isnt a single study proving droplet

Randomly found another review, discussing SARS and MERS airborne, amongst others.

Another saying we should look at aerosol. From May 2020.

And for a more comprehensive historical overview, this article spearheaded by @jljcolorado (full disclosure: I co-authored) is very good I dare say:
I couldn't catch entire author list in one pic ... papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf…

But very disappointed they repeated the 5uM fiction, and the idea of droplet. So that's a big negative. And Brankston (pic 4) is garbage.
Otherwise, the chapter is a good overview of the area.

One day I looked at it the other way around. I pulled a bunch of fomite articles just to see how they described fomite spread.
Turns out, pretty weakly.

Yup. Look at those troopers. Still writing the same after ~30 years.

Just a reminder these are all review articles meaning they summarize the field and other studies discussing airborne transmission.
There are no droplet review articles because droplet is not a thing.
