The CDC, in new guidance, says the coronavirus can spread more than 6 feet through the air. But the agency maintains such spread is rare and current social distancing guidelines still make sense. Some experts, though, suggest stricter rules may be needed.

FILE - This 2020 electron microscope image provided by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases - Rocky Mountain Laboratories shows SARS-CoV-2 virus particles which causes COVID-19, isolated from a patient in the U.S., emerging from the surface of cells cultured in a lab. On Monday, Oct. 5, 2020, the top U.S. public health agency said that coronavirus can spread greater distances through the air than 6 feet, particularly in poorly ventilated and enclosed spaces.

For months, the CDC has said that the virus spreads mainly through small airborne droplets when an infected person coughs or sneezes. Most CDC guidance about social distancing is built around that idea, saying that 6 feet is a safe buffer between people who are not wearing masks. In those cases, spread occurred in poorly ventilated and enclosed spaces where people were doing activities that caused heavier breathing, like singing or exercise, CDC officials said.

Stop coddling us, give it to us straight, and give us clear instructions on what to do. A proper President would then reinforce that, and provide funding for supplies, but hey, at least the first part is realistic.

Sweden👈🏻

HereToEmphasize They will change in a week just like when only 9200 people with COVID only died. This is the biggest sham ever, driven home by politics and corruption.

Literally an unknown number of ways you can poison someone.

Thats it. Time for steel wool and metal grids under our masks and 20 ft social distancing. I'm thinking a socially distant Hannibal lecter is what the CDC wants.

there is that pesky science again

Can we just get most people to follow the first set of rules and see how that works. Stop constantly changing the rules without compliance in the first place.

Huh. Our school district is asking for three feet “where possible.” Everyone will be back in class October 22. I guess we’ll see.

So no ones knows exactly what’s up? Got it.

What’s the guidance for hermetically sealed SUVs?

If a unicorn farts, be at least 12 ft. away so you don't choke on the glitter.

Some experts can fuck off

I’m on lock down until mid 2021. I don’t care 🤷🏽‍♀️

So schools, your talking about schools.

Everyone with a brain already knew this. The way it spread made that pretty obvious. Sometimes Captain Obvious doesn't need to be doubted.

Every registered voter needs to do their duty and vote nazi trump and the corrupt republicans out of office in November. When nazi trump and the corrupt republicans lose the American people win.

'stricter rules may be needed'. they will always be needed. goal posts will not stop moving.

The entire RoseGardenMassacre happened because of airborne transmission, it is not a rare occurrence. Masks would have prevented this.

What a farce this has been.

Hi AP, Corona Talk

I’m amazed they actually posted that. It’ll probably be removed shortly

Smh there not even following the old rules , it’s not going to go away unless we have a complete shut down for a month

The White House has written over cdc guidelines.

Retweet: Are demonrats, blmers, antifers, and marxists the superspreaders of STDs, Spiritually Transmitted Diseases? STDs Bidenharris2020

Stricter rules don't help when no one follows the bare minimum anyways 😞

Local considerations matter. I live in the desert and water droplets don't last long here, and outside away from people, nothing will persist long enough to worry about, but this is not the case in wetter places.

Watch 👇 He’s trying NOT to cough 🤣🤣🤣

The White House is a coronavirus hot spot on its own! Lots of irresponsible people! They are super spreaders of coronavirus and they don’t have any shame about it!! Vote for them not to be elected!

Are they 'experts' on viruses or government?

Fox News viewers right now

'BE AFRAID' The Medical Industrial Complex

Watch people with COVID and see how painful it is to breath. Watch Trump on the balcony, he is suffering real chest and lung pain.

I feel so freaking sorry for the staff working in the White House right now 😔
