The transmission is still unclear between airborne and droplet. The demonstration shows the behavior of air using various masks. It's cool to see, however masks are almost completely ineffective against airborne diseases, so it doesn't change anything if covid is airborne. If it were airborne we would see transmission at a much higher rate. Or, maybe it is airborne and we are severely underestimating the total number of infected people, and we'd be close, if not beyond, herd immunity.
I've seen your other posts pointing out the difference between air behaviors and masks, but it doesn't matter if it's airborne.
The 6' rule is for droplet transmission; droplets fall to the ground quickly and 6' is a safe recommendation to give droplets the space/time to fall. We are all taught to cover our nose and mouth when we sneeze or cough. The reason is to contain droplets. The mask is doing the same thing. Since social distancing protocols are adopted in every public setting, then what is really the point of the mask?
IMO, masks have given people a false sense of security. Social distancing, sneezing/coughing etiquette, and proper hygiene are far more effective than masks.

I think it does provide a helpful visual as to how ineffective masks are for the people who claim this virus is transmitted via aerosolization.
