Hi,

>5000 nm is pretty small.  How many SARS-CoV-2 Virions will fit in one
>aerosol particle?

The only reference I could find for the size of the virus is 0.1 micron. So 
assuming that both measures (i.e. 0.1 & 5)
refer to a diameter, and volume goes as the cube of diameter that means at most 
50^3 = 125000 (which ignores packing
factor) in one aerosol particle, probably much less of course. However droplets 
(sneezing) are usually larger than 5
microns AFAIK.
