Lol - This was laughable from the beginning, but further proof that our "medical professionals" have been wrong on just about everything.

6-foot social distancing rule doesn’t protect from COVID-19 whether indoors or outdoors

CAMBRIDGE, United Kingdom — Although the “six-foot rule” has been a staple of coronavirus safety measure since 2020, is it really doing anything to keep people healthy? A new study finds the answer to that appears to be a resounding no. Scientists from the University of Cambridge say the social distancing rule of six feet does not protect against catching COVID-19, even outdoors.

The team calls the social distancing rule an “arbitrary measurement” of safety in the absence of masks. It could have been set anywhere between three to 10 feet, depending on the risk tolerance of the local public health authority putting out the mandate.

Infected individuals spread the virus through coughing, speaking, and even breathing. People expel larger droplets that eventually settle on surfaces or break into smaller aerosols that may float through the air. The study used computer modelling to quantify how these infectious particles travel. Results show coughs vary widely when it comes to expelling particles. MORE AT LINK...

The authors are pushing masks, which is disappointing, because that's not what the study looked at. In any case, further ammo to demonstrate the insanity of public health policy.

Seems like everything I read these days is either to enlighten or completely buffalo idiots. I have to keep this with me at all times any more:

O Duh

The six-foot rule is not wide, it is deep. That's where they really want want most of us.

Wonder if they realize that the feelings are reciprocal?

"Risk tolerance" ... ?

Since when did games of "Simon Says" have anything to do with "risk tolerance"?

Since they started really pushing the envelope.
