It gets mathematical and statistical really fast.

So there's a constant conflict between simple and easy to understand but not totally correct info, and scientifically correct but incomprehensible to most info.

Someone sneezing in your face = really bad. Someone sneezing an hour ago vs. touching something they just sneezed on... hard to say which is worse.

I get the statistical mechanics aspect, but surely saying "It can spread through the air in enclosed spaces up to <x> m and for <y> s" is understandable by anyone?
