This CNN article supports my thinking in that the virus could be airborne.

When I think back to the initial spread of the virus in the Metropole Hotel and how total strangers staying at or just visiting the hotel got infected, that is good indication that the virus could spread not just by, say, one person talking to another but by people just breathing air where an infected person had been. In that case, it would seem logical that the virus is airborne.

The world had better take notice of this virus!
