Passed a guy last week with probably a 5mph differential. I suffer from pretty bad post nasal drip and needed to spit about 2 minutes after going by. He was right on my wheel and caught a bunch of it because I had no clue he was there until after it happened.
I have been going extra wide around people lately because of this. I've tried wearing a few different kinds of masks but after they get wet I've found it to be really uncomfortable. So now I just try to ride as early in the morning as possible and if I pass someone I give them a large berth.
