26 foot sneeze zone (MIT Study)
 
Coronavirus social distancing guideline is too short at 6 feet, MIT study says particles from sneeze can go 4 times as far.

Social distancing should be at least EIGHT metres to avoid coronavirus risk | Daily Mail Online

Right! Imagine sitting at an outdoor establishment with a stiff cocktail and stiffer breeze. Fans blowing and misters misting. And a slob at the end of the bar facing a dozen patrons lets out a huge sneeze not in his bent arm.... How far is far enough? Yep, staying home, good answer.

:icon_wink: Maybe the guy tasked with measuring the distance particles from sneeze may travel will get my check if I decide to donate it. ;)

I guess we need to take turns sitting in our lanais. I know. When my sprinkler is on, I get to sit on my lanai.
