In general, this is about 6-8 feet, although occasionally a powerful cough has been documented to spread aerosolized spray to 20-24 feet. These organisms slowly drift to the floor or other surface depending on gravity, the size of the vapor droplet and prevailing air currents. They can stay suspended for several hours. The ability of these droplets to transmit disease depends on the temperature of the air, the ability of the bacteria or virus to survive out of the body and the virulence of the particular infectious product. Most bacteria and viruses don't do well when they are dried out.
