I have read so much on this subject and it is not an airborne virus. USA have done large experiments and they were able to have "droplets" remain in the air and as you say move more than 2 metres. BUT big BUT they could only do that with emitting the liquid from aerasol being more like a mist and have said that the droplets emitted from a human being will fall to the ground almost immediately and unless coughed in your face the chances of getting the virus from the air is very very minimal

It would help if you can provide a source for this.

Not exactly what I read but refers to the subject and in my mind explains the 2 mC.2. Droplet evaporation

In the classic study of airborne transmission, Wells (1934) was able to identify the difference between disease transmission via large droplets and by airborne routes. Wells found that, under normal air conditions, droplets smaller than 100 μm in diameter would completely dry out before falling approximately 2 m to the ground. This finding allowed the establishment of the theory of droplets and droplet nuclei transmission depending on the size of the infected droplet. The Wells evaporation-falling curve of droplets (see Figure C.2) is important in understanding airborne transmission and transmission by large droplets. Wells' study also demonstrated that droplets could transform into droplet nuclei by evaporation.

Unfortunately the diagram did not copy but it is just a graph showing a curve from head height falling to the ground within 2 metres
