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

I think it's more like it can travel 27ft max, not that it always does.
Basically.
You need a certain number of viruses (infectious dose) to become sick.
If the average infectious dose is X, you’re not going to receive X viruses from someone 27 feet away from you unless you’re sharing breaths with them through a 27 foot long pipe.

Trump to give new guidelines on social distancing today. Will he say “27 feet?”

Maybe don't believe everything you hear.

You must not have read past the OP.

Isn't that the whole point of a ventilation system?

According to an expert in corona viruses I work for, have one or two vectors is not enough to infect a person. It takes a shite ton and the further away you are the volume dissipates. Technically they are probably right, but you are unlikely to be infected.

The problem is, these “experts” can’t seem to get on the same page about any of this. I choose cautious skepticism at this point.

Seriously?
20 downvotes for a fact.
fanatic is defined.

Or maybe the medical professionals are tired of having to correct the resident Doomcasters.

If this is true then this shutdown has done nothing.

Exactly! Who needs advice from silly MIT scientists? LA seems to have this all under control.

This is nice to know for people who have serious underlying health issues. It is very meaningless for everyone else. If you’re 10 feet away from someone with the virus who sneezes you have a 1 in 10,000 chance of getting it.

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.
Can't be real science because it's not metric measurements.
