That is not an accurate way to describe how transmission occurs. Yes there is an increased risk if you are not in a well ventilated area but to claim that the ONLY way the virus spreads is in a poorly ventilated area is false. The virus is in the air if someone infected coughs or sneezes, the amount of time it stays airborne and whether or not it provides enough of a viral load to another person is dependent on a variety of factors.
Feel free to link the paper but it is pretty common knowledge that a sneeze or cough releases droplets of multiple sizes, especially sneezes which allow tons of aerosolized particles to escape. Information below.
