You know, as I think about it, it would have made vastly more sense for people to be told to limit the amount of time they spent talking face to face–at least inside–than to try and pretend 6′ EVER made any sense.
As I understand it, the best understanding is that you need a face to face conversation, close enough to have a face to face conversation, up to and past 6′, for at least 5 minutes to transmit the virus. If all contacts had been kept to under a minute, offices with good ventilation could and should have remained open.
That may have actually done something. Masks and those idiotic “stand here” marks on the floor didn’t do a fucking thing.
I continue to hope the truth outs. The truth is horrible.
