Being infected isn't a binary thing. There is a big difference from swallowing 30 Coronavirus particles from touching your face to breathing in 300,000 from someone coughing in your face.

If you're young the first is probably a mild cold while the latter is a trip to the ICU.

Part of bringing the virus under control is reducing the amount of particles people are exposed to so they have a better chance of fighting off the virus.
