Excerpts:
The two drivers of the spread of the disease are close contact and crowding in closed spaces, said Muge Cevik, a virologist at the University of St. Andrews in the U.K.
the important point, which is often missed, is that this is just an average. In the real world, most people transmit the disease to nobody, or one person, and a minority infect many others in so-called super-spreading events. It's those we must learn how to avoid.
Much of the material in these studies comes as a surprise to people, says Erin Bromage, a biology professor at the University of Massachusetts, Dartmouth, who recently got 11 million views to a blog post he wrote on how the disease is transmitted. People think if you get exposed, you automatically get sick or become infectious, he explains. But even people exposed to sick family members in their homes don’t always get sick.
Sharing a home or office does make transmission more likely, since length of exposure matters as much as distance from other people.
People passing by you in a supermarket are unlikely to infect you.
Outdoor environments appear much safer as well. In one study, which followed hundreds of cases, all but one transmission occurred indoors.

This is what I keep saying. We don’t need masks for running or taking walks, and it’s ok to sit in a park with friends! Don’t hug! Don’t go in a restaurant and eat! But get takeout, get groceries, get gas and run an errand-sure. Still wash your hands and wear a mask when interacting, but the chance you get this from a brief encounter is minimal.
Think of it as how long you spend in someone’s air. Small place? Lots of people? Closed airflow? Get out!
Big place with doors open and air flowing through and people not too close? Spend a bit more time.
Wear masks indoors in order to keep those spaces even safer so that we can all keep visiting them.
We want gyms and restaurants to open, but they shouldn’t. Unless they can install big windows and keep the fresh air moving. But we can dine outdoors and run in parks and have picnics and stop in to shops and take a bus for a short ride and play mini golf and go to farmers markets and do outdoor yoga!

Very interesting and I hope this is true. Seems like it's all about viral load and time of exposure, so wearing a mask seems like it could "lessen" some of that exposure. Still need people to be smart and for the proper groups of people to isolate. Of course a full reopen with large events and crowded malls is likely not in the near future.
This is an opinion pieces which cites to information in order to prove the author’s point. While the information may be correct, it is still presented in a biased format. It’s not fair to share a link with your comment without putting in that major caveat.
