from what i've been reading, you aren't that likely to become infected/sick if you merely walk by someone fast who is unmasked, unless they are infected AND happen to sneeze or cough heavily at or around the time you go by.
This is what I've read as well. When I'm out for a run, I keep a 2m distance and circumvent passersby as needed. Besides, house parties appear to be the #1 cause of infection here, by a significant margin.

i do see people do the thing where they pull it up when they are approaching someone else, but it's usually not until they and I are within like 10 feet of each other which seems a little late to me. idk.
Outdoors, 10 feet away from each... I have my doubts that this constitutes risky behavior.

totally negligible risk. it's kind of a dick move because it might make other people feel unsafe because you look like a person who doesn't take safety seriously. but just in an objective sense and assuming you give everyone a wide berth, you're not actually putting anyone in danger.

― stet, Thursday, 1 October 2020 23:17 (three years ago) link
xp:Only in a minority that has such a long presymptomatic period, as from contact tracing studies the medium time from contact to first symptoms is about 5 days.
But from individual data underlying this meta, the subgroup consisting of asymptomatic people who tested positive, and subsequently developed symptoms 7 days later, had the highest viral titer. Given the wide shaded range for the graphed model (viral titers from ~5000 to ~200000 copies/ml 7 days before onset), there probably were very few patients that fall in that subgroup.

This is encouraging
Scientific evidence has shown that transfusing patients with plasma from people who have recovered from Covid-19 can reduce the mortality rate by up to a half, shorten the illness and make it less severe.

I like the super-spreader article but parts are a little hard to follow. Is the theory that certain individuals are predisposed to be super-spreaders, or just that their behavior (e.g. attending a big banquet event sick) makes them super-spreaders in practice? Or do we have no idea? Because the latter sounds more likely to me.

Evidence on convalescent plasma is mixed. As with hydroxychloroquine, observational and retrospective studies find benefits, but the randomized trials (in this case, just two to date Gharbharan et al, Ling et al) found no significant effect.

In the UK the number of cases rose rapidly.But the public – and authorities – are only learning this now because these cases were only published now as a backlog.The reason was apparently that the database is managed in Excel and the number of columns had reached the maximum. pic.twitter.com/X4a8keSEHK— Max Roser (@MaxCRoser) October 5, 2020
