Theoretical Consideration of COVID-19's Reproductive Number
This article argues that if COVID-19 relied on primarily airborne transmission, then its reproductive number (R0) should be considerably higher.
A comparison to another respiratory virus that relies mainly on airborne transmission, the measles, shows that COVID's R0 value is much less than the measles, which had a value of 18. This might be partially due to the efficacy of existing safeguards.
