I've been there, myself. It's a sign that you need to take a break from the forum.
You've strongly implied that going outdoors and breathing the air outside is a life-threatening proposition because some random plague-carrier could have infected that air hours ago.
My counter-proposal is that you take a walk outside and clear your head.
Projection abounds... jeezo. Read the articles and make up your own mind, but please do not propose that you know what's going on in mine. And I never proposed what you claim I proposed, I said it's a possibility, which it is.
Edit: Sam3's quote could be interpreted in a number of ways. If we are pushing particles out of the way as we walk about, doesn't that also imply that we're breathing them in too?
