Things I learned:
Social distancing doesn't necessarily lower your risk for indoor dining/workplaces/houses of worship or indoor sports - air circulation caused spreading and infection well beyond 6 feet.
If you are outside, you would need to be in someone's direct airstream for 5+ minutes to be infected. Passing people, even if they are breathing heavy, does not provide enough "dose" for infection.
"All these infection events were indoors, with people closely-spaced, with lots of talking, singing, or yelling. The main sources for infection are home, workplace, public transport, social gatherings, and restaurants."
"But even if that cough or sneeze was not directed at you, some infected droplets--the smallest of small--can hang in the air for a few minutes, filling every corner of a modest sized room with infectious viral particles..."
"...All you have to do is enter that room within a few minutes of the cough/sneeze and take a few breaths and you have potentially received enough virus to establish an infection."
