1/ Why do governments of the world prescribe these arbitrary different social "distances" ?

Bottom line: they don& #39;t trust you.

One of the top scientific advisers to the British Government said the two-meter (6& #39;6") social distancing rule is based on & #39;very fragile& #39; evidence.
People in the UK have been urged to stay at least 2m, or six-and-a-half feet to avoid catching or spreading COVID-19.

But the distance may be a non-scientific estimate that just caught on in countries around the world, as top researchers say there is no solid evidence to back it up. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8339837/Government-scientist-says-2m-social-distancing-rule-based-fragile-evidence.html">https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...

Other nations have cut their rules down to a 1m gap, which advocates say could help businesses get back to work faster and help to kick-start the economy.

These differences are getting embarrassing.

From the piece: "The same advisor has even suggested that it is being clung to by British officials because they don& #39;t feel they can trust the public to manage a shorter distance. "

Annnnd that& #39;s the real reason a LOT of these rules exist. You are children to them.
