I'm not making these assumptions. I think it's virtually impossible to contract Covid on the beach, regardless of masks or social distancing or wind conditions. Why? Whatever germ load someone sick expels via breathing/talking/sneezing/coughing is instantaneously diluted to infinitesimal levels because the ventilation on the beach is very good. If someone farts on the beach, nobody can feel the stink. If someone farts in an elevator, people can still feel that fifteen minutes after.
But, you and I are simply guessing. My question is: where is the science? Why is it silent on this? Why all we know at this point is still the pulled-out-of-a-hat 6 feet of social distancing and "wash your hands"? Why is the media not publicizing more widely studies like [1] that you are 18.7 times more likely to contract Covid indoors than outdoors?
