i didn't see the "masks don't work at all" posts. i'll go do some research into that matter - but curious what the hall of shame stories or speeches were, in your view? (dm's open if you don't want to put them on blast here, and if you have the time or interest in trading notes.)

What about runners huffing and puffing down sidewalks with no masks? And walkers following in their footsteps afterwards?

The Montour trail in Pittsburgh has been PACKED with people. There have posts about bikers spit flying on people et cetera & bikers putting pool noodles on their bikes to keep others 6 ft away. Also lots of good people doing what they should to protect themselves & others.

I think we should look into separating runners from walkers and other congestion management techniques (like with traffic) so that people can have access to outdoors/exercise (essential) without increasing anxiety/risk (not good!). Key is maintaining distance.

So only runners run in a huffing-and-puffing runner's wake? That doesn't mitigate the runners aerosol wake reality much, does it?

I would personally not consider running behind a runner outdoor to be high-risk, especially if everyone ran in the same direction and kept a few feet apart. (It's not at all proven that there is aerosol (tiny floating) rather than droplets (larger)).

Are you really qualified to give advice at this level of granularity?

How is saying what you do personally, "giving advice"?

Also if authorities would like to step up and give us proper well-reasoned guidance, I'd welcome it. In the meantime, all I can do is what I personally do! Feel free to ignore and not drop in on my threads!

I think that is great! It isn’t just about the distance that a microbe can travel, it is about how safe you feel. The other part of this is our immune system helping us & reducing stress helps it work better. Can provide a reference for those who want them

In a piece I'm working on, I linked to one paper, a classic older one. Feel free to send suggestions! :-D I just want us to manage parks/trails so that we don't expect people to stay indoors for 12 months. (My argument outdoors/exercise=less stress=better health=better immunity).

It’s a traffic flow problem. Glad you’re writing about it. Look forward to reading. Seems solvable with enough data about COVID19-19 aerosol (indoors & outdoors), near realtime location/pacing of people and pace / load balancing of new people entering the sidewalk or trail
