Airborne is a very technical term, so be clear about your definition before throwing out bets. Measles is the classic example of an agent that is considered airborne, and the transmission can occur hours later in the air. The bug doesn't break down very fast. Coronaviruses historically have not been considered to be airborne. Short-range aerosol transmission is likely, but that's not really airborne as we generally talk about the term. It's likely that droplets don't fall immediately, but as of yet there's no evidence that they're floating for hours afterwards like measles, chickenpox and TB.
