Additionally, social distancing doesn’t work [2] and is a suggestion being made by non medical professionals to non medical students.

- travisporter 6y agoYour second link is an interesting read. Even though the virus was found on the floor and >6 ft away in a Chinese hospital, fortunately no staff were infected. I am not a scientist but I think they just tested for viral fragments versus active infectable viral particles. It’s reassuring but caution is still warranted.
