I would imagine that the greater the crowd the more the chances of catching the virus pauline, but in the company of just one person outside on a walk in the country, the risk would be very small indeed, as long as the 2 metre rule is applied. It's just a risk assessment!
I judge each case on its merits pauline, and based on the information given by Carol on the original post I would say it would be virtually impossible to catch the virus or pass it on with just two people meeting in a deserted car park out in the country. Two women of a certain age would certainly know if one of them had the virus.
Asymptomatic people are mostly at the younger end of the age spectrum. Let's assume that neither of these ladies are carrying the virus. So being as you have to catch it from the expelled air of a person who has the virus, and they have to be in a small window of being infectious. According to government figures, one in fifty people are carrying the virus (which I strongly dispute) a group of fifty walkers from unknown origins, with one person at the 'spread the infection' stage, would have to project their moist virus filled air into your nostrils out in open country with a breeze and probably sub zero temperatures.
So how on earth are two ladies of a certain age, who have not been infected, walking together, and observing the 2 metre rule out in a deserted moorland terrain going to catch anything other than their death of cold if they are inadequately dressed?
