Runners can run (with masks, at a distance)
If you’re of the strongly opinionated anti-jogger-stigma crew, then good news! Vox has an animated explainer finding that the risk of infecting a passerby with covid-19 while on a run is nonzero but relatively low. “[The runner] would have to expel enough viral particles to kickstart an infection,” reporter Sigal Samuel says in the video. “Those particles would have to travel several feet of distance, withstand the pressures of wind, rain, humidity—then the particles would have to actually land in your throat or your upper respiratory tract or on your hands, which you would then use to touch your eyes, your nose, or your mouth.”
