### No, no, one sneeze is not enough. Fifteen minutes in close proximity to
an infected person indoors is the kind of situation where you are liable to
get a high dose. This is why so many symptomatic cases happened while
families were "sheltering in place", i.e. being locked up at home with a
sick family member.
