"What is your point?"

The point is that the six-foot rule is silly because any viruses that we might have are emitted into the air which circulates throughout the entire store, and although masks - especially improvised masks - might reduce that a little bit, they don't prevent it entirely.

People act as if the six-foot rule surrounds us with an invisible protective shield, but in fact we are all moving around in the same air and breathing the same air.

You are obviously shooting from the hip and have not reviewed the basis for the 6-foot rule and the Wearing of masks.
