Yes because people exhale the once when they go indoors, and don't exhale again until they're outside. In no way is there a continuous cloud of fucking virus being spread around in closed spaces.

No mention of the word ‘omicron’ in the preprint.

So if it has been more than five minutes since I was exposed, I don't have to clean my mask.

Just leave the dead virus there as a warning to other viruses.
