Can.

This has been known for quite a while. I recall studies 30 years ago showing this. It includes trajectory, and that distance is mostly out of the mouth. This is why those sneezing should cover the mouth and nose when they do so.

The 6’ is more about probabilities. If you want absolutes, just don’t be in or pass through the same room, or building with shared air circulation. Still won’t get you there, but likely close enough, especially considering the drop-off in viral loads.

FLASHBACK: Jan. 21: Fauci Says Coronavirus ‘“not a major threat for the people of the United States, and this is not something that the citizens of the United States right now should be worried about.”


And it was quite true at the time. “people of the United States” and “right now.”

I can pee a lot farther than the toilet, but I don’t...at least not often or on purpose...


Bravo!
