I would agree that distance is perhaps the more significant factor but it seems like you are trying to say that Transmission(distance + mask) === Transmission(distance) which I find quite hard to believe. Even ignoring the imperfect distancing that is bound to happen in person. For example, rounding a corner
at the same time as someone else.
- clairity 6y agomarginal means that adding a mask to distance adds little, likely immaterial, benefit, not absolute zero all the time, as such functional formulations imply. transmission is primarily a function of time and distance, which is why imperfect is probabalistically ok. we've already covered distance. passing someone around a corner is a miniscule additional risk because of the time factor. just don't stop to shoot the shit and you'll be fine.
