Neither does 6 feet. It's all safety theater.

Its not about guarantees. Its about reducing the infection exponent. Which all of these recommendations absolutely help with.

>>JoeAlt+p1
I think my point is being misunderstood. 6 feet is not enough, at all.

Yeah it's "more than nothing" but is that what we should be aiming for? Or a little higher.

>>ck2+(OP)
A bullet proof vest and a helmet don't offer perfect protection in a firefight either, but I'd rather have one than not.

>>ck2+s4
Ok, sure. Its just that its popular to post rags on the recommendations like they don't matter. Without any actionable suggestions. Which is not very helpful.

>>ck2+s4
What's the proper distance?

>>ck2+s4
there's an element of "what will people actually do". 6 feet gets the idea across while not coming across as "don't be in the same room as other people", which people will ignore.

>>viewer+F5
There may not be any safe distance in the same room/area with someone who is infected even asymptomatic without fever (yet)
