Really worried am I being silly?

[MumOfAToddler26]

So I'm really paranoid with the whole corona thing and this afternoon I was driving my car through the lanes when I pulled into a passing space so another car could pass.
He kept coming although the gap was a tight squeeze I was just going to go back but he had come so far coward we were both kind of stuck cars side to side with an inch or so to spare 🤦🏻‍♀️
I pressed my electric mirrors in and wound down my window so I could kind of lean out and see how close we were and he had his window open.
He was saying 'just keep going your ok' which I now realise was crafty as if I was moving and caught his car it would have been my fault.
Anyway I got him to move forward a bit as he was just sat there and then we both managed to pull forward and luckily didn't scratch either cars.
I'm now freaking out that I was potentially less than 2 metres away car window to window for a minute or so while we passed cars how likely is it to be exposed to Covid?! I know he would have to have it first, but assuming he did is just speaking a few words from a metre (maybe just under) a risk?
I'm totally aware I sound crazy but I'm just so worried about it all x

[effingterrified]

It's very low risk.

Quarantine yourself for 14 days if you're genuinely worried.

[Girliefriendlikespuppies]

The risk is absolutely minimal even if he had the virus which he probably didn't.

You need to relax.

I’m sorry to post...but you sound crazy.

[BillywilliamV]

Oh FFS, get a grip, what is the point of being so scared of dying that you dont have bloody life in the first place,!

[Ihopeyourcakeisshit]

Seriously?
I think you have more to worry about than catching covid.
You really need to work on your anxiety/noia

[ChablisandCrisps]

You sound very anxious OP. The risk is basically non-existent I wouldn't give this a second thought. Might be worth speaking to someone about your worry levels.

[Toomboom]

You sound quite paranoid. The risk will have been extremely low. You need to sort out your anxiety, this virus is going to be around for a long time so you will have to learn to live with it.

Just forget about it. The chances of him having covid and transferring it to you are minuscule. Don’t give it another thought. I am sorry you feel so anxious, I know how shit it is. But just forget what happened.

[SnoozyLou]

It’s 2 metres for more than 15 minutes. The chances are extremely remote.

I’ve been in hospital about 20 times since all this started, poked and prodded by various parties at very close quarters, and had the usual idiots not respecting social distancing (sitting/standing too close, breathing down your neck etc). I still haven’t caught it.

Famous last words....

Honestly, OP. I think you’re alright.

[Parker231]

It’s less contact than you’ll have in the supermarket.

We need to learn to live with this virus for a long time. Please try to take a breath and relax. It's important to actually live while we're here.

It is v low risk for contracting corona. And even if you got it, most people do not get severe infection.

[Twattergy]

My DH spent 2.5 hrs in the same car as someone who developed covid 24 hrs later (100% sure he had a test). He didn't get it (and the other person was fine after 5 days of being ill).

[InFiveMins]

Surely your post is a wind up?

If not, please seek help from your GP.

Some people are going to have no life at all when restrictions are lifted if they worry about the tiniest thing.

Many weeks ago when lockdown was a new thing I remember a thread about a vicar who'd spoken to a baby nearer than 2m and the OP was told to get a grip, 10 weeks later and we don't appear to have moved on any.
