Dr. Drew Pinsky argues that there is only one documented case of outdoor viral transmission and that sunlight rapidly kills the virus, making outdoor activities relatively safe.

Pinsky suggests that social distancing and masks may be sufficient to prevent a "second wave" without returning to full isolation.
