“I hope these people didn’t rush to the door in a panic. Unless they had contact with him (I think the rule of thumb is 20 minutes of close up exposure) the concern shouldn’t be overwhelming. It doesn’t spread as well by touching things.

If they have spent time with him in close quarters there’s nothing that can be done to undo it and they need to get checked. But most will probably be clean, anyway.”

So, close contact = about 20 minutes @ about 6 feet away. (Not just a quick paths crossing).

Touching things that person coughed onto may be another thing entirely.

Yeah, from what I hear that sounds about right.

“Touching things that person coughed onto may be another thing entirely.”

Oh, yeah, there you’re also throwing in projection and bodily fluids. Def more dangerous.
When I see Trump, Pence and 8 other people all jammed together on a podium for a presser for 45 minutes, I’m hoping they all are in good health!
