When walking, stay furthest away from 50 year olds followed by those in their 80’s and then 20 somethings.  This warning stems from a Dutch study that looked at the incidence of positive CoVid tests in their population of 278,455.

 

The highest percent of positive CoVid tests were 11.5% for the 50 somethings, 10.3% for those 80 and older, and 9.3% for those in their 20s.  Those least likely to be CoVid positive were kids under 12 with 4.3%, those in their 30s with 6.7%, and 12-17 year olds with 7.1%.  Those with the highest numbers of positives also tended to have the most live virus in their samples.
