| |
| − | This comic is about {{w|social distancing}}, a common practice to prevent the spread of the COVID-19 disease. It has been suggested to maintain 6 feet (i.e. 1.83 m - in countries with SI units it is ~1.5 m - France uses 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". He finally culminates in determining the number of horses that could also fit in the space.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Randall's border length and approximate area calculations are based on a zone with an outside radius of approximately 6.8 feet or 82 inches (2.07 m), meaning that the person has a radius of approximately 0.8 feet or 10 inches (0.24 m).
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The title text is a pun using the alternate definition of foot, noting that a human has two feet and a horse has four, so 8 × 4 + 2 = 34 feet.
