Default There is no shortage of conflicting information

Reality-6 feet. I do not claim to be an expert but I think it is safe to realize that with a wind blowing it would be less on the up wind side and more on the down wind side.

On the radio, I think that was where I heard it, they claimed the virus can live on your shoes for 3-4 days We are told on a cardboard box for hours. Simply makes no sense at all.

Similar conflicting information about dogs.

As to wearing a face mask while exercising. You should probably exercise alone. No shortage of videos. When, you exercise, you raise your heart rate, you need more oxygen and any mask will restrict your breathing-that is not good for you.
