I'd note this this article is by a journalist not a scientist so I assume there's been no peer review of it.

A very interesting article Michael.  It gives me more of a resolve to stay away from huffing and puffing joggers who for the most part once switched onto jogging mode seem to be completely unable to also put into effect social distancing.Noisy places, and places where people are hearing impaired and where voices need to be raised to be heard must also be places where PPE is important.I am also reminded of all the throwing open of windows and airing of rooms each morning that our parents and grandparents used to do in the past.
