If you were out walking and someone walking past was smoking, even if you remain 2 metres away, if the wind blows some smoke in your direction that you can smell (even if it’s a small amount of the smoke) have you potentially breathed in the virus?
My rational brain is saying, the wind would have dispersed the smoke so even if you smell a wiff, chances are not all of the potential virus particles would have blown your way. And also, if they were well enough to smoke, they clearly either have recovered from the virus or don’t have symptoms.
Irrational part of my brain is worried. Normally not a huge worrier but we have a shielding family member at home so am being extra cautious. Shielding family member only uses the garden, the rest of us haven’t been anywhere except for walks.
What do others think? You’re probably thinking that I need to pull myself together and stop worrying, but I already know I need to do that!
I am hoping someone will be able to reassure me.
