I keep returning to this topic. Outdoor transmission of respiratory viruses has always been thought to be less common. If we truly practice what the science teaches, we will stop worrying so much about outdoor activities.

Outdoor transmission is not zero. But we aren't going to go to zero. There was documented outdoor transmission with SARS in 2002, which is probably why there was some worry. Balancing out risk and the reality of resuming normal activities, I would rank most outdoor activities as low risk.
