Chance of catching covid in this situation

I went for a walk in the park yday. The path was less than 1m wide so had to walk past a man coming in the opposite direction. He opened his mouth and breathed out loudly (I have my suspicions that he was angry I hadn't moved onto the muddy grass Hmm) the wind was blowing in the direction from the man to me.
Is there any chance I could have caught covid from this?
I live with 2 vulnerable people.

Don't be daft it's Highly unlikely.

There's always a chance but realistically the risk is low. What an absolute tosser though.

Highly highly unlikely. Chances are he doesn't have Covid anyway. Don't give it another thought.

unlikely. I sympathise, I worry when I can smell perfume or fag smoke (both equally disgusting) from people through a mask as I wonder what else I am breathing in - but we are told that brief 'transits' are low risk, especially outdoors. So far so good, anyway.

next time wear shoes that mean you can bypass fuckwits by walking on grass or mud.

You’re most at risk when you have close contact with someone in a room for more than 15 minutes so kids at school and people in the workplace are most at risk. Public transport too if it’s a long journey but less risk because people should have masks on.

Walking past someone outside is minimal risk.
