Another study by MIT. Reckons coughs can spread CV up to 6 meters, sneezes 8 metres.

I’ve been out cycling every other day, strictly keeping at least a 2 metre distance at at times as per Gov advice.

Sometimes I end up in the slipstream of another cyclist, but make sure I stay well behind. That said, I’m going to be riding through their expelled air seconds afterwards aren’t I?

...and now I’m coming down with a dry cough.

So yes, I agree with the study. I think 2 metres to stop the spread is bollocks. Stay indoors as much as you can, even for exercising would be my advice.
