[Lincolnparkdc] Fwd: my Walk around Lincoln Park

Wed Mar 25 18:49:00 EDT 2020

It’s about risk management. If a runner sneezes on you, that could be bad
if they are sick. But the odds of a runner sneezing on you are relatively
low ... since they are running past you. People just need to respect and
try to accommodate each other.
A runner just snuck up on me, passing by and completely ignoring the 6-foot
rule... can I get the virus this way if they are infected?

Morse was on the Brian Lehrer Show today
<https://www.wnyc.org/story/can-you-catch-covid-19-cardboard-box>, and
actually answered this there. He said if someone passes you within a few
feet, instead of six, "The risk is going to increase if someone has the
infection, and with the amount of time you may be near them... if they're
coughing or sneezing in your direction and are infected and you are close,
then you have a better chance of getting infected. People who are just
walking or running by, the chances are if they are not coughing or sneezing
at that moment you have a very low likelihood of getting infected. Nothing
is ever completely without risk, but probably for most people it's going to
be very low risk. Be careful, but these very short encounters are not
likely to be major sources of spread."
