A teen got COVID-19 from a woman who stood 20 feet away for 5 minutes - Business Insider
God, will people just give it a break. The incubation period for COVID is 4 to 5 days. This was a teenager who I’m sure has not been sitting at home and doing nothing. She had been in school, maybe she caught it from someone who was asymptomatic. I sure sure she talked or was in contact with other people during this time. How many things did she touch during this time? Did she constantly wash her hands? Was she constantly wearing a mask? This a virus the same as a cold. Over the years how many times have you caught a cold and can’t remember being near someone with a cold. I’ll bet the answer is dozens. This is a pandemic virus and you can only do so much to avoid getting it. As they say in combat there is no safe place either you get it or you don’t. If you are that freaked out over it I would suggest you invest in a class five biohazard suit, sit in your house and wait for the vaccine. In the meantime I’ll continue to wear my mask, wash my hands and socially distance myself and try to have a normal a life as possible.
