In the same car, yes. In the same room, yes. Outside, probably not much if the people are just walking by. Multiple lungfuls of contaminated air are more likely to share the virus than a distant whiff.

Is there one whiff of science in any of that? Please show us any source that indicates that microdroplets dissipate within seconds. Please read the NYT article relating research conducted by MIT that indicates the exact opposite. Your choice of when to use a mask is contrary to most new public directives to ALWAYS wear a mask in public. Please show us a source for your point that it takes multiple lungfuls of contaminated air to share the virus. No current research has quantified the amount of virus that must be inhaled to become infected.
I do appreciate your opinion. But, your opinion is so off as to constitute a dangerous approach to this pandemic.
