I am quarantining until I receive the vaccine like many, many people. I choose science over any kind of public advice in a situation like this. I wish that the chief executive would have listened to ME. 
Anyway. Here are today's figures. I think it was 85 deaths when Mr. Trump came here to The Villages.

How long have YOU all heard is the incubation period. I think it is five to fourteen days? |
Good observation. And we have seen no spike as other outside activities have resumed.
The likelyhood of getting infected outdoors is very low. Fresh air and the wind rapidly dilutes the virus to low levels.
The general guideline is it take at least 15 min exposure at some minimum viral innoculum level.
This is why the highest risk is interior spaces with recirculating air allowing the virus to build to continuously infectious levels. And why it spiked when cold air drove people inside.
We're lucky being able to be outside and keep our windows open.
