Here is a really good summary of the risks of interacting with society by someone who has a PhD in Microbiology and Immunology written for "friends and family." She teaches and researches infectious diseases and host immune responses of animals.

She talks about "viral load" which is something I figured out for myself while hiking and trying to decide how safe it was to pass others hiking, etc... don't inhale a large volume of air of other hikers or runners. Most bikers (but not kids on bikes) go by so quickly they don't put out a large volume of vapor to inhale.... but I hold my breath anyway.

My guess is it means I will not be going to my indoor yoga classes until there is a vaccine but eating meals outside might be a reasonable risk.

It also explains why the parks were wise to close public toilets quickly...

I doubt I'll be getting on an airplane any time soon either.

My guess is the hot commodity will be LED light bulbs that emit UV-C that kills the virus. My hot tub, if it still works, has a fluorescent UV bulb to clean water. I thought about buying one of those to put in a box to clean my phone and other devices including my N95 mask, but Lysol and alcohol wipes work well enough for me for hard objects (key fob, cell phone) and time for the mask probably kills the small amount it might pick up on short trips inside stores.
