As far a the squares go, outdoor transmission from a brief encounter is almost zero.

And to the person who wonders how you can treat 300/day from 539 cases in a week, that is their maximum capacity---I doubt they are even near that. But apparently all you need to do is CLAIM exposure and they'll treat you.
This is what I am wondering about. With the original Covid strain, we were told transmission outdoors is pretty much non existent. That was the reason I never wore a mask outdoors and that was from the very beginning of this pandemic. I have not heard about how readily the Delta variant is transmitted outdoors or is it the same as the original strain: non existent? I still keep my distance from others, indoors and outdoors.
