I am waiting to see if the numbers rise before I go out and about. I hope for the best and prepare for the worst.
Passing the virus from person to person is not simply a factor of how close you are to others, but also of the duration of time you remain close to others. Walking past someone on the sidewalk is quite different from eating in a restaurant where you are sitting in one spot for close to an hour.
