the atmosphere is incomprehensably vast compared to viruses, making the chances of getting covid outside essentially zero. worry more sensibly about prolonged face-to-face conversation if you need to worry, but not maskless strangers outside.

Even if these strangers blithely brush past you, making no attempt to maintain social distancing? Sometimes they'll even come up from behind you, giving you no chance to avoid them.
