Better to just stay home and not worry about it

Right! Imagine sitting at an outdoor establishment with a stiff cocktail and stiffer breeze. Fans blowing and misters misting. And a slob at the end of the bar facing a dozen patrons lets out a huge sneeze not in his bent arm.... How far is far enough? Yep, staying home, good answer.
