The Centers for Disease Control guidelines on social distancing may be changing again after a new study shows six feet of distance to avoid the spread of Wuhan coronavirus may not be necessary.
During an interview with CNN over the weekend, Dr. Anthony Fauci acknowledged three feet of distance may be sufficient to reopen schools that remain closed.
"There's this new study from researchers in Massachusetts, just out this week, it found no significant difference of coronavirus spread in schools where there was six feet of distancing vs. three feet of distancing. But that six foot requirement, that's one of the main hurdles to reopening schools. Does this study suggest to you that three feet is good enough?" CNN's Jake Tapper.
"It does indeed," Fauci said. "What the CDC wants to do is they want to accumulate data. When the data shows that there is an ability to be 3 feet, they will act accordingly. They have clearly noted those data. They are, in fact, doing studies themselves. And when the data are just analyzed, and it’s going to be soon."
"The CDC is very well-aware that data are accumulating making it look more like 3 feet are okay under certain circumstances. They’re analyzing that. And I can assure you within a reasonable period of time, quite reasonable, they will be giving guidelines according to data that they have," he continued. "It won’t be very long, I promise you."
Get this clown out of here. Stop already.
Six foot rule.
Maybe no one five feet tall can tell people taller to stay three feet or six feet apart.
Penalty is Fauci should sit down and shut up. Forever.
who elected CDC (private company) and FauXi (rabbit hole
to so much; from CCP to Africa) to RUN EVERYONE’s LIVES?
why do their PATENTS on novel coronavirus and
the “vaccines” give them the right to be BOTH MONOPOLY
and CONTROLLER (while removing liability and hiding treason)?
The left can't tell the difference between the two.
Until it is. Or maybe it’s 9 feet? Tomorrow, 3 feet? And next week 12 feet.
This pile of excrement, Fauci, is having a blast at our expense.
LOL.
WHO standard was 1 meter, all along.
Made small spalsh in news last June ...
https://nationalpost.com/pmn/health-pmn/one-meter-or-two-how-social-distancing-affects-covid-19-risk
“Since early January [2020], the World Health Organization has been calling for separation of at least one meter (a little more than 3 feet). The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, meanwhile, has been recommending nearly twice that distance - 6 feet or more.”
And he got that info from what science? . . . (crickets) . . . Just think, we pay that clown a half million dollars every year that’s $9,615 each WEEK, or $1,370 each day . . . Money well spent??????
This is very important—it’s the only way to reopen schools fully in CA back to 5 days full time, even private schools, particularly grades 7-12, and colleges. It’s got to be 3 feet of distance (or less) and not 4-6.
This is very, very key. And it needs to happen ASAP. The WHO says 3 feet, as does the American Academy of Pediatricians. If the CDC changes to 3 feet, perhaps CA will follow suit.
It would be great to get CA students (including college students) back to full time in person classes.
There’s NO scientific basis for the “6 foot rule”, NO study was ever done to prove whether or not it’s effective
it was just an arbitrary number, picked out of the air by bureaucrats because it worked out evenly to 2 metres, so could be applied internationally
but watch how gullible people treat it like it’s some kind of magic protection
Like the mask rule. Should have been safety glasses and masks. It gets in through your eyes man. Sarcasm.. maybe.
This would make a good Marx Brothers movie.
Apparently Fauci doesn't work either.
But DroolerJoe in the White House is threatening us with more lockdowns and mask and social distancing mandates if we don't do what he says. Threatens to cancel 4th of July too.
Are you skeptics getting it yet? Folks, we've been conned. Scammed by our own government.
Because in either case, the chance of spreading it is almost nil. Children are not susceptible to catching it or infecting others. Most cases and nearly all cases involving hospitalization have been people over the age of 50. Most fatalities are people over the age of 70.
They are just making up this BS as they go along.
And like most things that Leftists do where they just make it up as they go along, there is no introspection or responsibility. They will never, Ever, EVER engage in introspection as is done by conservatives on a routine basis, to look at their actions and a truthful evaluation of the effects of their actions, and there will never, Ever, EVER be someone on the Left who says “Yes. This was a mistake. We should have never done it this way.”
Never.
If it works, by chance, or if they can twist statistics to make it sound successful, they will use it and trumpet it from the highest rooftop.
If it doesn’t work or causes actual damage, they will either ignore it, pretend they had nothing to do with it, or blame it on their opposition (Projection). Worse, they will simply lie or manufacture statistics that show what a success it was.
There was a reason that Rush Limbaugh called the communications arm of the Left in America “The Drive-By Media”. This is the exact model described above that they would operate under.

“Guidance” is not an Executive Order.
An “Executive Order” is not a LAW.
Maybe he’ll distribute measurung tapes with masks.
This country’s leadership has lost its collective mind.
I wish they would all shut up and go away. Pointless people and guidelines.
CDC tyrants pushing their opinions onto us....
Really sick to hear their free “public service” ads on the radio saying things like we’d all like to go about our business once we got the two vaccination shots but it’s right to continue to wear a mask indoors and outdoors.... Sheesh.
