>Also, people seem to think the virus magically stops at an invisible 6 foot distance whereas in reality you need much more if you're breathing and running where you leave a much bigger trail of aerosolized particles as you run, and there's also wind carrying your breath much further than in a still situation.
But people also think (without evidence) that momentary contact closer than 6 feet is enough to spread COVID. It's almost certainly not.
You are very very very very unlikely to get COVID passing by a person for 2 seconds without wearing a mask. The infected person would have to sneeze directly into your mouth or something.
