Interesting idea. If you think about it, the cells of the virus are heavier than air and the viruses quickly settle. It turns out that the taller the person, the really lower the chance to inhale a large number of virus particles. And since a little virus enters the body, the disease is mild. Although, such a thing is unlikely to work in enclosed spaces or public transport.Sculptor wrote: ↑Thu Jun 03, 2021 10:47 pmLet's try an analyse this.Walker wrote: ↑Tue Jun 01, 2021 8:56 am In honor of the arbitrary six-foot rule:

So too is the difference between the almost right six words, and the right six words.
What are they?
You start by calling the "six foot rule" arbitrary. It is not. Seven would be better, but less practical. One foot means 90% infectivity, rising to 100% infectivity over a short length of time. With each foot you add the density of infectious agents landing on the other person decreased exponentailly. By a multiplier of 3.142. I can explain more if you are listening. At six feet, short term contact results in a very small chance of infection. At more than seven feet the change is already so low as to be background, at this point precautious such as ventilation make more sense.
Then you offer a completely irrelevant quote from Twain, who makes a remark about having the right words. Have you lost the plot?
Then you oddly ask for six of the best...
six feet; good words; six words.
There is not even a tenous connection here.
Go to the Head teacher for six of the best!

Re: The Right Six
Clearly an infected person's impact on the environment will decrease with distance to a factor of the square of PI since the dispersal, and potential contact point resides at the circumpherence. Clearly there is more to it. Orientation to the infected will be of vital importance since the breath will be at the front of the body, and as you say the height will also be important.BeatriceMom wrote: ↑Tue Jun 08, 2021 11:05 amInteresting idea.

The moral of this story is if you are a dwarf don't stand under any giants with illnesses.

The right six eliminates grammatical crutches.

The wrong six limps towards meaning.
