Well, sure: If you stand 100 ft. downwind from 20 severely ill hacking / coughing coronavirus victims for 15 minutes under JUST the right breeze conditions (mainly, no vertical mixing, and no direction changes, but enough breeze to carry the small % of the virus that is aerosolized to you B4 drying or UV gets it), and you have no mask properly worn, well, yeah, I suppose it is possible a susceptible person could get infected.

Don’t get me wrong. We humans have a quite serious situation on our hands here. But overstating risks (this virus is not nearly as contagious as, say, measles) is nearly as dangerous as understating them.

Anyone right now who has this virus can walk up to you and cough massively directly into your face. Guaranteed you will have that virus in 3 to 4 days without mask, gloves and eye wear. I know. A person did that exact thing to me over a decade ago.
