I don’t think it’s as ridiculous as it sounds. Eyes and ears don’t work around corners in grocery stores, and not everyone has an intuitive sense of what 6 feet of space looks like. Even people who are virus free and/or asymptotic should keep their distance from others.
Also - What about people who are hard of hearing or have limited/no vision? A vibration could help them not be at risk if they have to be out.
- cbhl 7y agoTwo meters straight-line distance because that's how far your sneeze travels. If it's around a bend, then someone's sneeze isn't going to hit you; it will hit the wall first.
- finaliteration 7y agoI mean more in the scenario that you’re about to turn a corner and someone is standing there. Maybe if you got an alert you would wait and let them pass or take a different route.
- dogma1138 7y agoI don’t know what corners you usually take but the average side walk has plenty of space to turn a corner without getting into someone’s face. Don’t hug the wall and you’ll be fine.
- jhayward 7y agoIt's not about sneezing. Real-world experience is showing that just breathing is enough to transmit the virus.
