Happy weekend. Plz remember that social distancing does not mean hanging out w/a friend 6ft away. Covid is likely transmitted by breathing/talking alone https://www.cnn.com/2020/04/02/health/aerosol-coronavirus-spread-white-house-letter/index.html

6ft">https://www.cnn.com/2020/04/0... is for when you MUST go out for food/medicine https://www.tampabay.com/news/health/2020/03/25/dear-tampa-bay-social-distancing-doesnt-mean-socializing-while-staying-6-feet-apart/">https://www.tampabay.com/news/heal... https://www.washingtonpost.com/health/2020/04/24/strokes-coronavirus-young-patients/">https://www.washingtonpost.com/health/20...

Public health agencies/media have failed and now people seem to think that hanging out wearing a bandana from 6ft away is social distancing? Nope. It still means to stay home and zoom.

6ft is not a magical safe number. Six feet is for when you MUST go out https://www.tampabay.com/news/health/2020/03/25/dear-tampa-bay-social-distancing-doesnt-mean-socializing-while-staying-6-feet-apart/">https://www.tampabay.com/news/heal...

I worked on a story this week about medical workers preparing for their own deaths, writing wills, sending kids away.
