The 6 foot rule is just to appease the sheep

The 6' rule was something that came from studies in the 1930s, its not completely accurate.

For normal breathing, it may be fine, but in the case of a cough or sneeze you are looking at up to 18'.

Put distance between yourself and other people outside of your home.
Remember that some people without symptoms may be able to spread virus.

If only someone had posted a velocity equation that explains all this in another of your psychotic rambling threads... Oh wait, they did!

Just because the math is 11th grade level and you don't understand it, doesn't make it wrong.

More old news,

seems like you could have rehashed what we already know about not wearing a mask/respirator in your thread rehashing what we already know about the difference between the two.

Is this one of those "what I lack in substance I make up in volume" deals?

It depends upon particle size as well. As an example, tuberculosis spreads optimally at a distance of 16 feet due to the size/weight of the particles. Other diseases may spread optimally at shorter or longer distances.

Go on YouTube google infectious diseases and how they spread and watch a couple videos. Even MythBusters covered this in the bathroom episode. The 6 foot rule that they’re trying to have us believe for the social distancing does absolutely zero

Let me get this straight - CDC is puppy poo - but you and YouTube are golden - sure you don't have a twitter post to back it up
