Coronavirus can travel twice as far as official safe distance and stay in air for 30 minutes, Chinese study finds
Authorities advise people to stay 1-2 metres apart, but researchers found that a bus passenger infected fellow travellers sitting 4.5 metres away
The scientists behind the research said their investigation also highlighted the importance of wearing face masks because of the length of time it can linger

Can, may, maybe, could....
This all depends on a great many things. The saturation of moisture, humidity, is the first limiting factor. Velocity of dispersion, wind, many thing impact this number.
So, we will leave this to the liberals to blow out of proportion and infer or outright make up lies about.
thanks for that..was trying to figure out where the recommended 6 feet fit in.
In the US for sure - I don’t remember the details. I only recall quite a number died mysteriously.
That’s only half of it . Once they die , Corona victims do not simply die , they turn into corona zombies /s
The Italian fashion and garment industry brought in a lot of Chinese labor.
You can bet there’s a connection.
There’s probably a connection between the dems and the Red Chinese too.
Morte Cerveza Hombres!!!!!
“thanks for that..was trying to figure out where the recommended 6 feet fit in.”
6 feet makes sense to me in a semi-enclosed indoor setting with relatively small airflow, such as a typical conference room. At that distance, the virons (or whatever they’re called) will disperse enough to not be concentrated to the point of infecting people. But spend 4 hours on a bus, as in this case, and the one infected guy just keeps pumping out the virons, and being winter, it’s possible not much fresh air was making it into the bus.
I’m actually more surprised by how many people on that bus didn’t pick it up.
Nowhere near precise enough. 14 ft 9.16535 inches to be more exact. Get out your micrometer. Can't be too safe. Stay outside the danger zone.
Invest in tape measures.
MUERTO, I meant!!!
I trust Taiwan, (fantastic handle on the virus, plus it’s an island)
and i also do not trust China unless it is bad news, and even then it is actually worse than what they’re reporting.
Yep.
Here is another scary fact: the virus has been detected in feces and urine.
So, if you go into a bathroom where someone infected had gone, poof. There ya go.
Also, if you walk where someone passed gas in the last few hours, well, the virus can linger in the air.
Wear your masks. And goggles. It can permeate through the mucus membrane in your eyes as well as nose and mouth.
vive le morte ! vive le guerre , vive le sacre mercenaire!
I’m buying more into the theory they were developing a SARS vaccine and went to human trials, but they bungled it. Of course, none of the experimental bodies has come forward in China to say they were a test subject. Maybe they all croaked.
I would wager they caught the virus by touching the door, seat or something. I am not an epidemiologist and I did not stay in a Holiday Inn last night - but if it is airborne 4 meters away, then the world is in epic trouble.
For the love of Pete.. Every Freakin’ day they change their minds about how this virus operates. No wonder there is such panic and confusion.
Stay upwind of farts and corona.
Read sonewhere here on FR that Pakistani migrant was “ground zero.”
