They “made up” the arbitrary distance of 6 feet, not the entire concept of distance making it harder for germs to spread… What the hell failure of logic is that?! Some viruses can stay potent in air much better than others and they weren’t CONFIDANT that 6 feet would be adequate or overkill. It was an educated guess for COVID specifically, not an ass pulling.
There is a vast difference between doing something that is proven to be generally helpful before you know if it is specifically helpful, and making up an idea.
The fact you cannot understand that vast gulf of difference is frankly hilarious.
have you ever heard of this thing called the inverse square law? It applies to a large number of things, and while im not sure about the dissipation of molecules in a gas, im sure there is something very similar. Which would quite literally dictate the level of dispersion, or “average dilution of molecules from a source, from any given arbitrary distance” 6 feet just so happened to be enough that it was small enough to be minorly inconveniencing, and majorly helpful in reducing the significant spread of particles.
Since you seem to know so much about this gas dispersion thing, why don’t you specifically explain to me, what it is that is involved here, and how this number is literally pulled out of someones ass, and how it’s not based on any science. And i will ignore the fact that you don’t seem to understand how science works, or how much of engineering was practiced through the pre-computer age. Nor the fact that you can’t provide anything more than “NUH UH” in response to my questions.
And since im here, why dont you explain to me what might or not work in specific terms. Such that i can have any idea of what the ever living fuck you are talking about.
And yet social distancing was “obvious” because scientists said it u til they admitted they pretty much just made that distance up.
That’s why there’s an Appeal from Authority fallacy… But you just keep on trusting what ever they say with out questioning it.

It wasnt an educated guess it was just around 2 meters and felt good. I am not saying worked or not, but there was no science behind the number.

They had no idea if it would work or not and had no reason to believe either way. Do you believe in checking hypothesis?
Do you think they didn’t or don’t continue with the new variants as budgets allow? Your ignorance is made more pathetic by your obstinance.
“no science behind the number.”
i uhm. Are you aware of this thing, a very little, minor thing, called dispersion? Dilution? etc…
Yes, but that number was not related to what might work or not , it was just a number they liked based on no science.

You do realize that social distancing does have a body of work around it and was used to mitigate the 1918 pandemic…
Of course they don’t. This is the person the meme is about that you’re taking to.
So you don’t think masks work?
Did I say that? Because I didn’t, but if you want to put words in my mouth you’re more than welcome to have a conversation with yourself at that rate.
It’s “appeal TO authority, genius.
