I salute the genius who, when tasked with explaining six-foot social distancing in a way that’s universally understandable, came up with “approximately the length of a set of skis”
It’s an easy rule of thumb: imagine there is a person, on skis, standing equidistant between you and another person. You both should be out of reach of the tips of each end of their skis
Omg it’s actually from Colorado, which makes it both vaguely more understandable but also funnier that someone put it up in Bed-Stuy https://twitter.com/cdphe/status/1237777026116796416
Omg also behold this amazing reply when someone said they can’t relate to the length of skis https://twitter.com/cdphe/status/1237781763025334272?s=21 https://twitter.com/cdphe/status/1237781763025334272
Oh, so you aren’t familiar with skis? Think of it this way: imagine if you pushed over a refrigerator so it’s laying on the ground lengthwise
Anyhow, all these are confusing, I’ve found the easiest way to visualize how long six feet is — imagine LeBron James ducking to get through a dangerously low doorway
