Early study shows coronavirus traveling farther than social-distancing rules recognize

Virus was 'widely distributed' on ICU floors, computer mice and trash cans

The novel coronavirus that has forced "shelter in place" orders throughout much of the U.S. might spread as far as 13 feet in the air, twice the distance people are currently advised to maintain from each other to avoid infection, according to an early release of a study by Chinese researchers.

The study published Friday in the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Emerging Infectious Diseases journal builds upon warnings that the virus may be aerosolized, or spread in the air through respiratory droplets.

So most of the social distancing has been a waste of time and destroyed the economy. All that it's done is slow down the spread to keep the medical community from being overrun.

Time to get back to work. Almost all people we be exposed to this before it's over. Were just exposing them a little at a time.

Saw a guy coughing and spitting globs over 10 feet yesterday at WAWA by the "S" curve. He looked sick and just strolled right in after his attack.

I agree. This has been nothing but feel good rules. Everyone is going to be exposed to this sooner or later. There is no escaping this virus, and I think most people have it or have had it and don't even know.

If the economy is opened up too soon and the country recovers, than Trump will win reelection by a landslide, Dems and Liberals can't handle that kind of defeat so we have to keep the economy shut down to inflict heavy financial causalities.

(remember several of the Dems and Nighttime Hosts were praying for a disaster)
