how is the infection going ?
I've read it's with direct contact and only in the first 1-3 days of a cold.

But I also read about a Wisconsin group testing poker-players
and they suggest that it's also spread by direct inhalation,
although it takes a while.

could it be that in the first days it's spread by contact and then in
a 2nd phase - when people often start hustling-  it's also spread
by droplets nuclei ?

so, what can you do to protect yourself ?
first gloves, then later masks ?

ahh, of course I meant "cough" not "hustle"
(German: husten")

why would the virus make us cough, if not
to use this way to spread to other hosts ?
