I think I did finally convince her when I said something like how the CDC doesn't want to cause panic. It may also have to do with the viral loading. Standing next to somebody that breathes or coughs in your face you get more of it than what is floating in the air.
Although in a crowded area if a person breathes out and say 80% of the stuff falls to the ground within 6 feet, but 10% lingers for a few minutes, and another 10% lingers for 8 hours floating in the air. Start multiplying that 10% by all the people that have been through the area in 8 hours and it adds up!
Hence the previous suggestions (by you perhaps?) of getting to the store early in the a.m.

Yea, we’ve been doing that for weeks now...even today for me. And then we’ll be doing it again most of next week!
If stores are open long hours, TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THEM. If not, try to avoid. We have a Sam’s Plus membership (business type) which means we can go early M-Sat, before the masses. We also have a Costco membership...but nope, no early hours. Guess which store I have not stepped foot into the past 3 weeks?
My wife like her Asian stores, but they don’t open until 8 AM or 9 AM (depending on the store and the day). We bought about $900 worth of mostly non-perishables a few weeks ago (and were the first one into both stores, one opening at 8, the other at 9). Had a free run of the first store, but it was starting to get busy at the second store. But we’re done...I offered last week, but now, no more.
Is anyone else holding their breath when they pass someone?
