That makes me feel a lot better. I mean, even when I go for a walk every day, I doubt I pass near anything like 400 people over the course of a week. Maybe 200 - it in almost every case, well distanceD, and outside.
And on my weekly supermarket trip, I doubt if there were even 100 people in the store during the time I was there. And of course we’re doing our best to stay away from each other, and if you do pass near someone, it’s not for long.
Risk of infection is a function of how close you are to a person and how long you spend there. And I may not even have been in proximity to even one person who has it in the past week.
Reassuring. Wash my hands on getting home (which I do), and sanitise after pushing the shopping trolley.... I think I’m concluding that my chance of catching it is actually quite low.
