Horrifying simulation reveals the dangers of jogging during the coronavirus pandemic: Viral particles from another runner could infect you even if they are six feet ahead - but staying NEXT to them may be safer
I’m trying to get back into running. This virus is taking all the fun out of my life.
I’d go to the liquor store, but I don’t want to drink potentially COVID-infested beer, and I must keep a keen mind during this crisis.

The key is to try to be upwind of others, or at least not downwind. Even jogging next to another person could be risky in a crosswind, if you are also downwind.
One more consideration is how people breathe when jogging, as opposed to walking or just sitting down. If the person is heavily breathing, I wouldn’t even trust the 6 foot rule.
