It has been suggested to maintain 6 feet (i.e. 1.83 m - in countries with SI units it is 2 m) of distance between yourself and other people, to prevent the transmission of respiratory droplets from you to others (or vice versa). |
− | [[Randall]] takes this 6 feet of distance, and does calculations of the "area" of distancing, "border", population density, and "real estate value".

With 6 feet of distance, these calculated variables are incorrect. Besides the radius of the body, only a radius of 3 feet has to be taken into account for a distance of 6 feet between two people. He finally culminates in determining the number of horses that could also fit in the space. |
