When the 6’ rule came out I did some searching online. The particles were tested at traveling 3-13 feet based on coughs and extrapolated the distance for the difference of particle size. The small size also meant the particles could hover a bit before settling.

So, essentially, whoever came up with 6’ just split the difference, and people were lined up to GET covid if someone was stupid enough to go out when actually sick.

Also the grocery stores that had one way aisles were just leading people around through the particles. Again if multiple people were sick and coughed down the aisles.

If I had to stand in a line in the early covid days I did 1 1/2 of the spacers. People grumbled and wanted me to “stand in the line.”

Altho I was one of the first to wear a mask before Fauci demanded it, I happily, tossed it when I found a group of sane people which included a trauma who said early on that masks were in effective and it is a flu virus.
