You’re not far enough away: It can travel 27 feet says MIT researcher

Seriously?
quote:
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dynamics of coughs and sneezes for years, warns in newly published research that the current guidelines are based on outdated models from the 1930s
quote:
She notes a 2020 report from China that showed that “virus particles could be found in the ventilation systems in hospital rooms of patients with COVID-19.”
fears that the current guidelines are “overly simplified” and “may limit the effectiveness of the proposed interventions” against the deadly pandemic.
Seriously?

The chicken littles will be in this thread soon enough to preach this as gospel.

If it's that contagious we might as well give up

Well our social distancing guidelines are from outdated models from the 2020s.

The theoretical limits of what it "can" do are irrelevant to policy. Policy needs to be dictated by what it's LIKELY to do.
If an infected person coughs and impacts everyone on a 27ft radius, than the documented R0 would be 50 and not 2-3.

When the history of this is written, we will see that the so called scientists did us a great disservice with their overly pessimistic predictions and doomsday scenarios. I'm not looking for sunshine pumpers, but a more reasonable, measured approach would be better.
I feel like my entire family would have this by now if that were the case. My wife, parents, and brother are all health care providers and are around this virus a lot. Anecdotal of course, but I feel like it would be spreading way more if 27ft was the radius.

Exactly, but is that really what’s happening?
