The dude on Joe Rogan's podcast made it sound like the covid spread is mostly just a matter of breathing the same air.

The CDC has also indicated that it can be spread through the air. But physical contact is more likely.

It's annoying, there's conflicting information on this front, like this article about the CDC changing its recommendation on the type of face masks hospital personnel should use [0].

They're claiming you can't get it by simply breathing the same air, and saying surgical masks are sufficient.
