How to avoid the coronavirus? Wash your hands

Notice I didn’t say anything about masks…

[O]utdoors, infections don’t spread well through the air. Those photos of people walking down streets in China wearing masks are dramatic but uninformed.

So, in theory, to be protected maybe you should use a new one for each outing.
