Social-distancing guidelines to stay 6 feet from others may be woefully inadequate, one scientist warns — saying the coronavirus can travel 27 feet and linger for hours.

MIT associate professor Lydia Bourouiba, who has researched the dynamics of coughs and sneezes for years, warns in newly published research that the current guidelines are based on outdated models from the 1930s.

Rather than the assumed safety of 6 feet, Bourouiba warns that “pathogen-bearing droplets of all sizes can travel 23 to 27 feet.”

Her research, published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, also warns that “droplets that settle along the trajectory can contaminate surfaces” — and “residues or droplet nuclei” may “stay suspended in the air for hours.”

Interesting ......

Let’s compare the ” field of transmission “ compared to a fart .

While anecdotal evidence circulating on the Internet states that farts travel an average of 10 feet (3 meters) per second, or nearly 7 miles per hour, a scientific determination of fart speed is more difficult to pinpoint. If we were to calculate the velocity of a fart, the kinetic theory of gases would offer useful guidelines. All gases — including those that escape the body during a fart —have macroscopic properties that include temperature and pressure related to molecular motion. When gases are at the same temperature and volume, they will exert the same pressure against their containers. And, therefore the greater the temperature of the gas, the more kinetic energy it will have, because heated atoms move faster than cooled atoms. Chewing with your mouth open , increases air into your gut and ado the overall pressure. Each individual has their own unique gut flora that determines the final odiferous result.

SCIENCE !

i think Uncle Jack might be the funniest but darkest humor in the show.

and the "Jew Lawyer" is also pretty good. Let's talk Bird Law with Charlie.

@Jimdamick if you want to binge watch a funny show, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia gets my vote.
