> It is well established that physical distancing limits the spread of virus transmitted via respiratory droplets. If you refute that, I would require significant peer-reviewed literature on your side.
The study you provided does not support your claim that physical distancing works as it is implemented in the US (6 feet of separation).
> We found that the evidence base for current guidelines is sparse, and the available data do not support the 1- to 2-meter (≈3–6 feet) rule of spatial separation. Of 10 studies on horizontal droplet distance, 8 showed droplets travel more than 2 meters (≈6 feet), in some cases up to 8 meters (≈26 feet).
It's also likely Covid is spread by aerosols. There needs to be more research but it is very likely based on the details of superspreader events.
