I think 2006alum has it.  The six feet rule doesn't seem to protect you indoors (that case study of restaurant infections from table to table).  Even outdoors, if you're exactly six feet away from a contagious person, I would expect sustained proximity to increase your odds of infection substantially...

I agree with both you and 2006alum.  That's why I am extremely worried about plans to open up schools, offices, etc. while acting like 6' of separation is a magic force field that prevents virus transmission.  My current feeling (which admittedly could change with new evidence on transmission dynamics) is that there is no safe way to reopen offices, schools, etc without a vaccine, cure, or very extensive testing.
