Q33
User ID: 27169207 Canada 03/27/2020 04:03 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | In the UK they are asking people to stand 6 feet apart when outside such as food shopping. But they are not saying why? They are not saying stand 6 feet apart because the other people may sneeze on you or cough on you. All they are syaing is stand 6 feet apart. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78685588 To me it then begs the question why are they saying stand 6 feet apart from eachother? Does anybody know? i don't care but if anyone gets closer then that when i am out and about i would fucking flip on them because i enjoy drama! |

Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 78685588 United Kingdom 03/27/2020 04:05 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The "6 feet of distance" rule comes from studies of respiratory physiology, said Dr. William Schaffner, infectious disease expert at Vanderbilt University. "Without a cough or a sneeze, if we exhale, the distance 3 to 6 feet from each other is called the breathing zone. And it's in that kind of volume of air that what I exhale begins to mix with the air that's already in the room," Schaffner said. "So if you're standing within 3 to 6 feet of me, you may well inhale some of what I exhale. And of course if I have the virus, what I'm exhaling microscopically contains the virus." |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78685588 To me it then begs the question why are they saying stand 6 feet apart from eachother? Does anybody know? I've seen multiple news reports on BBC and Sky etc., that precisely explain why. Projectile from a cough typically doesn't go much further than 2m, occasionally it can breach that, but for the vast majority of time its contained somewhere in that region. A news reporter on the Beeb demonstrated it with some neon dye, and the projectile that comes out from a cough is quite surprising. 2m / 6ft is pretty sensible and good round number. |

I think the answer is so obvious that they don't need to explain that it is because of sneezing and coughing... Don't tell me that you that it's a 666 thing... |

Maybe that's why they say to stay indoors, too - because sunlight IMPROVES yours and my immunity!! Everything they tell us might be well meaning, but it's flat out wrong. |

You learned something important, and not from the paranoid disinfo spreaders of GLP. Keep up the good work. |

So we should stand 7 feet apart. |
