I think you miss the point - I for one like pickleball and play 5-6 times a week for my cardio requirement. I don't like biking, and I cannot jog because of my knee. If you look at the dimensions of the court, the 4 players can maintain a 6-foot separation pretty easily if desired. One can also wear a mask. It is outdoors where the threat is less than say shopping for food. yes, you touch the ball but so what you just wash your hands like you would for any other activity like food shopping, getting gas, etc. IMO the pluses outweigh the negatives.
