Fauci now saying 3 feet social distancing sufficient

[Du Ma]

I muted Dr Doomsday since last summer.

Best decision I’ve made in 2020

As I saw someone else say. I believe Dr. Seuss more than this joker.

Read the statement again -- slower this time.....

if the DATA suggests it is okay then it is okay.

Imagine using studies and data....etc...OMG -- how radical -- and all to just get at Trump -- mwahahaha

Imagine using data from a 19th century scientist named Charles R. Crane that suggests the 6 foot rule is most effective, when studies were showing 3 feet apart was perfectly fine to do so. The results and numbers weren't too far off, and in some cases, stay 3 feet apart was actually better.

The latest estimate of 3 feet is not carved in stone either. Do not be surprised when the so-called "experts" change this number, yet again.

But wouldn't this also hold true during the entire flu season?

With that in mind, should we all be forced to wear masks 24/7/365, because a person could be infected with the measles, mumps, whooping cough, etc...

I would say no, unless the mortality rate of the common flu approaches COVID-19 levels.

The WHO has said 3 feet (one meter) since the git go. Even six feet is not far enough for me. I stay a good ten feet from everyone even outside of a pandemic if I can help it. But six feet works. It's easy to remember if you think "six feet apart or six feet under".

So, about that climate change science that some people keep harping it is "fact and indisputable"...
