it is somehow related but communicable can transmit diseases faster than infectious. If i’m not mistaken, organisms that are involve in communicable diseases is smaller than infectious, i think it is about 5micron that’s why it is considered airborne disease while infectious is above 5micron, mode of infection is droplet, meaning that there is just a certain distance where organism can be in the air after that it will drop because it is denser than organisms of communicable diseases.
