[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You have to have 6 feet AND masks because humans are ping pong balls and incapable of perfectly respecting 6 feet of distance.[/quote]

Asia does masks, no touching, and no 6 feet stuff.  Has good outcomes.  They wrote the playbook during SARS. Pretty sure our CDC said no masks and 6 feet at first because, amoung other reasons, they didn't think we would wear masks (and they were right in some states), but we've largely adopted them. This accident is how we ended up with BOTH recs (6 feet AND masks).  Masks stop the coughs and sneezes and large droplets the same way 6 feet would (with the 6 feet rule, those droplets fall to the ground and table-tops  and not on a person). Masks have the exact same function since they make the droplets stay on the sneezer's face.  The new problem is that it lingers in the air in miniscule droplets - masks offer a little protection for this but not great protection.  The 6 feet rule offers no protection for this.  No one wants to take away the 6 foot rule, but this rule doesn't exists in Asia; I think they say 3 feet there, but that is to avoid touching.
