I'm not convinced that choir practice is proof of airborne nature of CV.
As Ohiogal said, not only does one expel a lot of high velocity air, but as one who has sung at gigs around 2,000 times, there's a lot of saliva flying out too.
Had to clean off keyboards (I played those & guitar) every night because of all that junk flying out of my mouth.
So, singing is a way to transmit the virus without the virus itself being able to survive airborne. You're going to transmit just due to the nature of singing.
