Comment of the Week

“The link titled “Outdoor transmission of coronavirus is very rare, according to new research.” is misleading if you don’t review the linked article carefully. This research only studied infection points for 3 or more. Thus we can only conclude that “Outdoor transmission to 3 or more at once” is very rare, according to this research.
It would be premature to conclude that since group transmission hardly occurs outdoors that you or I have little chance of infection outdoors. The data is not present in that study (there may be others) to draw such a conclusion and doing so before we know might be dangerous.”

– That’s a fair point, Steve. I think outdoor transmission will be much rarer—group or otherwise—especially with increased sun and humidity, but you are right that the link doesn’t account for single 1-to-1 transmissions.
