I am sad about how far apart we're growing as people due to virus that is no more scary than the flu.
Funny you say no more scary than the flu when the flu is literally the cause of the last pandemic that killed 3% if the global population.

Sure, to be more correct I mean a mild flu season, not 1918.

#63So ... how does it work, given that 2m is not enough, and the distance of 10m is thought to be more likely? :)
My first thought is this puts way too much stock in the idea that rooms are safe as long as they aren't too packed. To me it seems like this 1.5m rule and person limits aren't actually backed up by real research and are just numbers pulled out of a hat when something had to be done fast. We shouldn't be finding ways to get people back in to shared buildings as soon as possible because infections don't just give up be…
I was just thinking that the difference in fatalities between NY and SF might be that NY has a colder climate, so airtight buildings with more heating.
A virus like corona with a high R0 would spread like crazy in a building with active ventilation piping. Or an airliner.
Corona is really a non-event in SF.

you mean to imply covid-19 is no more scary than a normal seasonal flu ?

#67I think it could work. Heavens know, I will now have to actively avoid places that are not at least careful about how they reopen. I am mildly concerned about people, who see doing the opposite as a political expression, but some things cannot be helped.

I disagree. Tens of thousands of people in my state don’t obey any stay at home order. People take off masks once in stores.
As someone who also goes out a lot right now I haven’t seen anyone be asked to put their mask on or leave.

Which state? And how do you know tens of thousands are ignoring it?

#69The idea is definitely cool (and important/impactful at this time if successful). That said, in the midst of a global pandemic where human density is inherently dangerous and social distancing is espoused, naming a product "Safe by Density" gives the exact opposite initial reaction you're probably hoping for.
It is a bit Orwellian. War is Peace, Ignorance is Strength, Safe by Density.

Georgia reopened weeks ago and yesterday hit their lowest levels of cases and deaths since the outbreak began at 22 and 3 respectively: https://ga-covid19.ondemand.sas.com/
