Oh, and if you're wondering whether air gapping always makes security work easy... nope. Sometimes malware communicates via the microphone and speaker! Or by ambient light sensors. But it pushes the class of malware firmly into state actor territory. Additionally there's always the Stuxnet "let's load a USB file with the virus" method, etc, or "let's infect the BIOS or something low level and then infect USB devices which carry it elsewhere" and so on.
Air gapping isn't perfect from a security perspective. Clean devices, working in clean rooms, and investigating the virus from first principles is the way to go here.
