The Texas Medical Association recently released a graphic listing many common activities and their risk for getting coronavirus.

This assumes participants take all possible safety precautions. 

Anything look particularly out of place?  I feel that sitting in a doctor's waiting room should be riskier... unless they've taken precautions to reduce occupancy.   Why is visiting an elderly relative's house more risky than eating at someone else's house?  I'd think those should be reversed.  Unless an elderly relative's house is a nursing home. 

I wonder where playing catch (baseball,  football or frisbee,  ) would rank.  An outdoor activity with plenty of spacing but a shared object.

Sitting in a doctor's office is a risk that is difficult to quantify. Many offices are trying to minimize the risk. In the places that I work we do not allow our patients to sit in the waiting room. We have them stay in their vehicles until we are ready to see them. They are escorted directly to their exam rooms. Then they are escorted out of the building at the end of the visit. No one with symptoms of C19 is allowed in the building. They are seen outside.
