The known transmission path: droplets in air.
Now speculating:
* Locking lips: Likely rather high.
* Slobbering on something, passing in air, to be slobbered on: Also likely high.
* Being in the same pool as someone: Apparently low
* Slobbering on, passing quickly, to be slobbered on, in water:
How much of the slobber got off in those 5 seconds? Did you swirl it around a lot? Rub on the mouth piece? Rub on the insides? Flush the insides with water a few times?
Considering that all of the major associations have implemented alternative methods for practicing Regulator Donating in course environment(continue breathing of your regulator and clipping the donated reg to the harness), I think your taking this a little too far. They're also recommending not test breathing your Octo pre-dive, just purging it a few times. So if you're doing an Octo donate underwater in real OOG conditions, again, on the slightest off chance covid happens to be passed along, you can fix covid, but you can't fix dead....
