SOCIAL DISTANCING.....

...will turn out to be the LEAST EFFECTIVE of all he measures we have taken to mitigate the spread of this cold virus.

By far. If the powers that be will ever admit it.

There is no proof that the transfer isn't coming from TOUCHING infected materials...
2....metal, plastic, glass, and cardboard, where this and other viruses like to reside. Then touching your face.

Airplanes use hospital-grade HEPA filters that remove 99.97 percent of bacteria and virus transporting particles.

Hand sanitizer is your friend.
3. Only the at-risk should have been obliged to distance themselves. I'm 72, my daughter is diabetic. We constantly wash our hands and sanitize.

6 feet apart is overkill. Stupid.

Social distancing is why a $22 trillion economy was shut down. Needlessly, imho.
4. Yes, I've been on the #7 train from Manhattan to Flushing hundreds of times. Even before this, I used hand sanitizer. It's not the air.

I doubt anyone responsible for this will ever admit they misled us.

Restaurant dining rooms, airlines should never have been closed.
5. The numbers are now pretty much in. This was a bad cold. Only the elderly and infirm, statistically, are dying.

Just like the common cold, or the flu.

2.2 million will die, we were told. We're looking at 60k, and they're having to CHEAT to get there.
6. If this virus were transmitted through the air, then we'd have far more deaths by this time. Far more.

Entire train-loads of people would be infected. This is not happening even in NY.

Airborne transmission of this particular virus, unlike measles for example, is weak.
7. They scared us into wearing masks and avoiding the air around other people. 6 feet apart. Needless precaution.

The numbers say so.

Does anyone realize how huge these puny numbers would be, if this thing WERE transmitted through the air?

These are common cold numbers.
8. In my county of 461k souls, 4 have died of Covid-19.

All elderly. Suicides, in the same time frame, exceed this number.

Maybe because we are completely shut down.

Because social distancing.
