I'm curious if anyone has actually been infected outdoors. Epidemiologists track where infections occur; we've heard about people becoming infected at conferences, restaurants, choir practice, polling places etc. But has anyone definitely become infected outdoors?

Yes, it was implied that they had both touched the same glass or (by one of the commenters) they were sitting within breathing range of each other (though >1m apart).

Would the infection of the choir in Washington support the droplet theory?
-
Yes, singing indoors. Talking/singing seems to be a major risk. But we have a few superspreader events, need more research. That said, droplet/aerosol is a continuum with a tail; rather than ruling out, we're figuring out where the risk is concentrated.

There's a good piece in
@WIRED from a week ago, debunking/unpacking the unpublished/unreviewed *study* suggesting that cyclists & runners would spread#COVID19 outdoors... Plausible, but no evidencehttps://www.wired.com/story/are-running-or-cycling-actually-risks-for-spreading-covid-19/ … -
That’s interesting, but when you combine it with this Japanese study below, I still think running is a risk. Running, singing, shouting etc generate microdroplets that travel & linger in the air. https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2020/04/coronavirus-microdroplets-talking-breathing-spread-covid-19/ …

Saw report on Twitter of people being infected at an open-air market in Wuhan 14+ feet away from the contagious person. This would make sense given how far sneezes travel.

Could see outside bars, cafes being a major risk. Crowded stadiums, festivals. But it mostly seems to be PROLONGED contact, right? (1+ hours). Not passing someone on the street? For that matter, have they found any confirmed cases from “touching face?” Seems to be inhaling mostly

In this study only one incident with 2 cases... close to none.
