Realizations numbers are just numbers – 6 feet came from droplets falling length – but the problem is the microdroplets and the eventual buildup in the air you are breathing. So if you are 6 feet apart or not and the room is not ventilated it doesn’t matter – https://www.cnbc.com/2021/04/23/mit-researchers-say-youre-no-safer-from-covid-indoors-at-6-feet-or-60-feet-in-new-study.html
“An MIT study showed that people who maintain 60 feet of distance from others indoors are no more protected than if they socially distanced by just 6 feet.
According to the researchers, other calculations of the risk of indoor transmission have omitted too many factors to accurately quantify that risk.
“We need scientific information conveyed to the public in a way that is not just fear mongering but is actually based in analysis,” the author of the study said.”
PLEASE just measure CO2 levels – then you know if your risk is lower/reasonable – I suggest under 1000 ppm. For those that are compromised probably under 700 ppm.

Media and “experts” seem to never be accountable after the fact – https://reason.com/2021/04/21/the-covid-19-disaster-that-did-not-happen-in-texas/?
“When Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, a Republican, lifted his statewide face mask mandate and his limits on business occupancy in early March, Democrats warned that he was inviting a public health disaster. Yet a month and a half later, newly identified coronavirus cases in Texas have fallen by more than 50 percent, and daily deaths have dropped even more.
Meanwhile, states with stricter COVID-19 regulations have seen spikes in daily new cases. This is not the pattern you would expect to see if government-imposed restrictions played a crucial role in curtailing the pandemic, as advocates of those policies assume.
Abbott’s critics did not mince words. President Joe Biden said the governor’s decision reflected "Neanderthal thinking." Gilberto Hinojosa, chairman of the Texas Democratic Party, said it was "extraordinarily dangerous" and "will kill Texans."”
“COVID-19 surges are happening mainly in states with more legal restrictions than Florida or Texas is imposing. The Washington Post nevertheless says "experts…agree" that rising infection numbers are largely due to "a broad loosening of public health measures, such as mask mandates and limits on indoor dining"—a claim that is tenable only if you ignore all the countervailing examples.”
Personally I believe weather trumps all these quarantine policies therefore policies in general are ineffective in the grand scheme of things – guidelines and educating the public on what they can do to reduce their risk is the best approach – CO2 measurements!

India surpassed the US
The US at these levels is like tracking the cold/flu – there will always be some. Hopefully MI will warm up and people will open the windows and ventilate.
