I read a rumor on the Internet that my very long time board colleague & fellow ‘getting up there in dog years” (although I am MUCH better looking & look/act/feel 10-15 years younger than I am & can still throw a football on a line 40-45 yards & still shoot a basketball very well [If no one is guarding me - LOL]) has been doing what this COVID article above recommends for DECADES - for reasons totally unrelated to communicable diseases.
Right, Fencer my friend?

When asked by CBS News what the issues were with the language on airborne transmission, CDC spokesman Tom Skinner said, "It's poorly written. The bottom line is aerosol transmission possible but not the main way that spreads."
The CDC's guidance also explains that the closer and longer a person with COVID-19 is with others, the higher the risk of spreading the virus to those people.
On Friday, the CDC also updated its testing guidance after nearly a month of controversy over the role of political interference from officials at the Department of Health and Human Services overriding the CDC's scientists. In late August, the CDC's website was quietly revised to say that people who had been exposed to someone with coronavirus but weren't showing symptoms might not need testing. That caused an uproar among medical experts because asymptomatic people can easily spread the virus to others.

Our local liquor store says business is up 50%, presumably because people are going out much less to bars and restaurants.

Imagine if during the finals some old bastard complains that Lebron James can’t make free throws like they could in his day. So you replace him in the lineup for game 7 with Nathan Hoover a 93% free throw shooter who has never played in an NBA game before.
That is essentially what Trump did when he ditched Fauci and promoted Scott Atlas. Scott Atlas has committed unspeakable malpractice for the country as a whole and now there is a 10-33% chance the president will die from Coronavirus.
