OTOH when you are just walking in a middle of nowhere and someone passes by on a bike, if the wind flows in the right direction you can easily get their droplets in your face.

Do you mean that you will automatically get infected if someone you live with does, so it's pointless? Or something else?

Practicing quarantine _inside_ a home is terribly hard. The air exchange is very limited and there are too many shared surfaces. Even if you're paranoid about cleanliness and bleach everything twice a day, in the long run you will get exposed to the microbiome of the other people in the household.

Another factor is that masks get wet after some time. This makes breathing harder, which is not a good thing with any kind of physical activity. Also, the humid feeling makes people want to touch their face more.

Edit: people infecting you is not that easy to defend against. You'd neet N95s or hazmat equipment for that. Situational awareness is key to defend against "drive-by infections".

In the long run though, I assume we are all likely to be exposed to the virus. Let's do everything in our power to avoid it where possible to ensure the dosis is low enough that the infection stays asymptomatic. In the best case, it might grant us some immunity.
