[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, are the Corona/flu/strep/XYZ  germs going to grow wings and fly off the scrubs and onto some the guy standing 6 ft away?[/quote]

Last time I went to the grocery store NOBODY was 6 ft away from me...hell, even the marked lines on the floor do not measure 6 ft.  Probably only 3 feet apart...about the size of the shopping cart.  Current stores and business establishments are NOT zoned for the 6 ft social distancing requirements.  If we did, all stores would be double the footprint of what they are now.

So, no germs are not flying 6ft BUT they are being carried around and they DO glide on the airstreams we all create when walking around.  There are published reports on this and that is why runners are getting so much grief over running too close to people [/quote]

I had this experience at the Walmart on Georgia Ave in NW. One woman was so insistent on standing closer to me that when I put the cart behind me to separate us, she moved up and stood [u]beside[/u] my cart! I have tried to not be confrontational so I said “Oh, I’m such a klutz! I don’t want to accidentally hit you with my cart. Let’s put some more space between the two of us.” And she rolled her eyes. But the man in front of me turned around and said to her “This lady is being too nice. You need to move back. It’s stupid to be right up on her.” and then she looked like she was going to cry.[/quote]
