Six Feet Apart/Six Feet Under: Social distancing = lethal
The six-foot canard was the cornerstone for policies that have devastated life across the globe
As you all know by now, U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) has recently “streamlined” its Covid-19 guidance, e.g.
“Emphasizing that physical distance is just one component of how to protect yourself and others. It is important to consider the risk in a particular setting, including local COVID-19 Community Levels and the important role of ventilation, when assessing the need to maintain physical distance.”
The Gospel According to Fauci has preached the six-feet-apart social distancing mantra for years now. But (surprise, surprise) it never stood up to even the most cursory scrutiny.
Did you know that the now-carved-in-stone concept is based on a random theory proposed by a German hygienist named Carl Flügge in 1897?
Flügge proposed 3 to 6 feet as the distance pathogen-containing droplets could travel. He lacked anything close to the knowledge or equipment needed to make such a determination. In fact, the six-foot decree has been consistently challenged by “experts” of all stripes for nearly 75 years.
As early as 1948, a study found that only a small minority of droplets traveled as far as Flügge suggested.
Still, anyone wanting to look smart/compassionate/sane/woke intoned the words “six feet apart” over and over as if it were based on some reliable data.
The six-foot canard was the cornerstone for policies that have devastated life across the globe.
Small businesses were shuttered.
Weddings, proms, funerals, and more were canceled.
People didn’t get to see loved ones before they died.
Victims of abuse were stuck inside with their abusers.
Isolation was normalized — clearing the way for a digital ID/social credit society.
Families and friends were torn apart and divided by ideology.
Children suffered setbacks in cognitive development.
Untested, experimental genetic therapies (“vaccines”) were imposed upon the global population.
Mental health disorders became the real pandemic.
As I recently reminded you, people in the Third World may never recover from the damage inflicted on them.
I could go on…
All for a virus no more dangerous than the seasonal flu.
The parasites in charge won’t stop until they are forced to stop. Step one in that urgent process: Reclaim your faculties for critical thought and stop complying.
To anyone with experience of fine particles or aerosols, the six foot rule was immediately and clearly absurd. I tried explaining the basic physics, to no avail. Salon socialists who "believe in science" were vituperatively confident of their own righteousness. To them, it was a moral crusade. Anyone on the wrong side of that was a crypto-Trumpist goon.
I remember some time when the Walmart (which I mostly avoid) had arrows painted on the floor in which direction you had to go. Of course I had not noticed and went in and out as I pleased ! At the same time they had reorganized the store and everyone had to search for everything. Since then I go even less
