That came as a surprise to me, and I checked it out on google. This article seems to support what he's saying:

So if you catch a droplet of saliva from getting sneezed on in Krogers, you will get a milder case of the virus than if you DFK'd your favorite provider for an hour.

Sobering.
This makes sense to me. Three members of my household got it. All of us had been cautious and routinely following the CDC guidelines regarding masks and social distancing out in public (while avoiding unnecessary trips).

We haven’t been in total isolation, however, so at least some of us got it. The symptoms all turned out to be mild, so maybe the masks, hand washing, etc., did help in that regard.
