This science merely points out that particles can travel further than 6 feet - but it fails to discuss risk. What is the real risk of infection at 6 feet vs. 12 feet vs. 3 feet if an infected person coughs indoors or outdoors? It still feels like we understand the relationship (better vs. worse) without having any real idea of the actual risk at any distance.
