A new report from researchers at MIT and University of Oxford shows current social distancing guidelines may no longer be effective. Researchers are warning that in some cases, the 6-foot rule is not great enough.

New Report Warns Current Social Distancing Rules May No Longer Be Effective | NBC Nightly News
this is not new news, they are just saying this now for a renewal of fear
Pray for America with me. Watch and share this video and pray the prayer at the end of it thank you so much.

Is it true masks offer any value for aerosol? https://youtu.be/jgbrfXf3zXk
Social Distancing is still a thing? LMFAO 😂
Right!
@Ambrose Leahy At my local casino, I see people stand in line without any space in between and walking together side by side XD
classclown55210 same thing where I live, probably less than half the people even wear masks.
Where does the Covid go when we’re “social distancing” ??..Just Askin’ !!
It is to stop the spread from one person yo another.
Lmfao another scare factor good job fear mongering
Ah ha ha ha ha ha😂😂😂😂!
Sweden calls you LIARS.
year 2020, the year full of Bad news!!
crazy right?
Well, considering that they’ve known since April that SARS Cov-2 can travel nearly 15 feet through the air, this isn’t exactly news.
@antieverything1 The fact is that it can travel more than six feet through the air, so most of the social distancing protocols up to this point have been BS.
@44excalibur calling it bs implies there’s no benefit to 6ft vs no guideline at all. What’s your point?
@antieverything1 Meaning that that if six feet of distance isn’t enough, they should have been more transparent about it and issued guidelines that were more accurate.
@44excalibur 6 feet isnt based on maximum possible distance of spread for this particular virus but rather on a concept in epidemiology called the breathing zone. The virus *can* travel beyond that zone but the initial viral load from a sneeze or something would travel just under 6 feet immediately.
We also know that covid can circulate through ventilation within a building, btw, so by your standard the CDC recommendation should be never leave your house for any reason, no exceptions, period. How helpful would it be to give recommendations that are completely infeasible?
@antieverything1 At least people would know that six feet reduced the risk of transmission somewhat rather than believe it was a safe distance. It’s not like most people are following the guidelines to the letter anyway.
I take train and transit. No social distance. Doesn’t really scare me at all. It’s more of the media scaring people shitless lol. Been over half a year already. No big deal
Thank you NBC for being responsible not like FOX.
@Alpha Bruh Well that’s not what they are saying but if you fill your head up with anything else you might go Kelly Bundy on us. So for your safety the air is contaminated for the rest of us it means be wary and take extra precautions indoors especially within 23 foot or where unprotected folks have occupied.
@Dean Dartista 23 feet is ridiculous . U sound like a terrified little chihuhua. I’ll take my chances. Who even wants to live like that? You obviously
@Alpha Bruh Not scared, I’ve been around the world by 22 as a Marine in places that would make you cry. My biggest job was keeping my men alive. Our biggest job as real men should be protecting our people. Ignorance doesn’t protect. Ignorance seems to be your playing card and misleading other people like Trump has. I’ve already had to deal with one death COVID related and it looks like another early next month. People who are on the front lines of this know it’s seriousness and no one knows all the long term effects yet.
Hey anyone dealing with someone trying to be some kind of wanna-be tough guy that has less brains than a rock out there? Please don’t listen or be intimidated by their stupidity. Listen to science, love your neighbor by wearing a mask and just be respectful, it’s real.
Keep in mind the best minds in this country are trying to work this out for better solutions. With Biden as president, having dealt with death and illness himself, he will use all his power to unite us on this front.
6ft definitely any wise person can see this that it can barely do nothing.
Duh. I’m no Dr. But I been saying this from the start. P.s. if they would stop the over hype that would be great
Isn’t this obvious?? I mean if you wanted to make this news you should’ve made it a long time ago but instead it’s a glaring headline saying social distancing won’t work and confuse the heck out of people.
*This* is NOT *new information* but it definitely doesn’t hurt repeating it. 🤷🏻♀️
yeah why not, there might be a few stupid people who might buy into it?
not new but I only heard it 1x previously
Deaths going down so why not try to inject some new fear in people because nothing but bad news sells. Lol
Oh crap, everyday it is something new they seem to “find” out about this plandemic! This is bulls__! Check out the Rockefeller foundation about the Lockstep agenda. How first 2wk lockdown, then keep extending by 2wks so that people get used to it, then keep adding new “symptoms”, and on and on! This is a PLANDEMIC with the UN backed 2021 agenda! Wake up people, enough us enough!
You said it PERFECTLY!
omg seriously guys, i’ve know that we have evidence of transmission as far as 30 ft since the scientists reported it in JANUARY
DO NOT ACT LIKE THIS IS NEW INFORMATION, trump just wanted is to ignore it so we did.
Masks! Wear masks! This will not end until you do.
26 feet. Oh god. People do not listen to this crap
Only idiots thought that 6 feet could isolate you. You are really taking a gamble being around people….much more than usual.
Tomorrow you cannot be 100 feet.
Keep up with the fear for suckers
Repost this as misleading
So what I’m hearing you say-that as an essential worker overseeing troubled youth…I’m not only forgotten about with pay, because let’s face it, it don’t pay well! But now I’m at an elevated point of getting COVID-19 because I’m indoors and hours after others have left the area when I’ve already had several close calls 🤨 gee, thank you for allowing me to be a sacrificial element in society politicians.
ur welcome and hope u dont die .Maybe stay home and starve–just to be safe?
wear mask save lives since social distance is not enough..
So ridiculous. There’s no evidence supporting this. Why say it but not show the evidence
FAKEEEEE get to Blood over Intent on youtube to place your blood beside Satan to pass into the Garden of Edne of Expire. The Holy Grail is real.
What are the politicians to do especially when they have to meet in Congress if this is the case why do you need a mask 😷.. sounds like we have to permanently stay inside and not get any fresh air..
And the police department
Fire 🔥 department, the doctors offices and the Dentist and the Las Vegas strip let’s take it a step further what about going into Walmart or target 🎯
I wonder why this virus has a way of knowing to follow people it amazes me
It’s very intelligent 🤓 👁
👑🐢🌴
My life is already depressing and then there’s life life that’s depressing i just want everyone to leave me alone so i can get my mind right
Fomenting Fear plain and simple. Wash your hands, take precautions, and live.
sometimes fear is warranted
This is a joke right 😅
Bs
People don’t even follow the 6 feet distancing. Now they want 26 feet
if you want to stop covid19 today, go to immortalsclub.org listen everyday, all day, until you get well
Well.. DUH! people are so stupid!
The universities have evolved into primary schools
😆😂😂. These scientists keep changing the story. The whole response is. a scam
Lame, that’s all there is to it…. bring it media…
Nobody listens to the lying media and democrats anymore. They’re steering America to promote hate and destruction. We have been scammed since day one.
Jeffrey Epstein funded the MIT scientists…….who are behind this pandemic: listed here:

At the rate the United States is handling the coronavirus it’s going to be here to stay. Thanks to Donald Trump the biggest loser on the planet. He can only be compared to Hitler
Patricia Gurwitz did you see the video of pelosi early in. It wasn’t just President Trump. So stop bashing the President and trying to hold one man accountable. He was getting told lies from China, CDC, WHO and Fauci. They construed the darn facts and solutions so bad. The things we are doing now aren’t guaranteed to protect you 100%. Unbelievable how people aren’t seeing what it is. To divide our country. Don’t blame Trump this has been in the works for years as far back as Sr Brush. Wake up Americans Wake up
Please! Cases and deaths are going down yet previous social distance measures are now no longer viable!?
What I don’t understand is why hasn’t Trump had Covid 19? I mean, really? He probably doesn’t even wash his hands.
And this is why I don’t listen to alphabet news … always spewing propaganda!!
What’s weird to me I use to go to several different gyms out here in San Diego. No one wears a mask, everyone is breathing in and out really heavy and I know there have been several people who have come down with covid 19. But the vast majority are still there, the workouts and equipment have moved outside and the same people are still there still with no mask still working out everyday with no covid. I stopped going because no one wears a mask, (part of the gym is still inside too), and I see the same people post all day long on Facebook their workouts. Along with the owner who sits at his desk in the small indoor area of the gym where people workout in and still no covid. He’s healthy as a horse. I sit back at home and ask myself, how does this happen🤔🤔
The masks are mostly used to keep you from spreading it. Not for keeping you from getting it. Washing your hands and everything you buy and touch is a much better way to stay safe. I can’t remember if it was true but I also saw wearing a mask can actually increase your risks since the mask is constantly collecting the stuff. Masks are basically the same as Gloves.. but different
all this tell us is that we do not understand the letality of the coronavirus….how could our experts get it so wrong…they gave 6ft which now proves they were wrong….it also proves why we rushed in reopening America causing rewaking of the virus resulting in more infections and deaths…our safety protocols obviously not correct…how can our experts recommend safety protocols that were not safe? how antigen and antibody testing be so insufficient? what is happening to America and all its technology? why is our health testing and medical supplies are not measuring up like to other countries? if blood plasma antibodies are helpful, why we did not use them months ago and save lives ?…as for our president Trump, he is MIA, he is playing golf and campaigning…. He should sweeting his behind leading this fight against coronavirus…..I am greatly disappointed in the manner Mr.Trump handled this coronavirus from the beginning onward.this is a black for America
They are not telling the whole truth, i knew this long time ago
they never ever will
Economy is back up and running MSNBC, there’s no going back.
100% After November Covid won’t even be mentioned anymore..
Yes
26ft apart only applies to those idiots who dont wear mask and face shield in public…
your life your choice it is? so be it!!!
you fools!!!🤦🏻♂
Wear a mask. If you refuse to, then just stay home. Stop with the whining that you can’t breathe through a cloth. If that were true, you’d die as soon as you put your face into your pillow or pulled the covers up to your nose in your sleep.
“New Report Warns Current Social Distancing Rules May No Longer Be Effective” thereby motivating us, the people of America, to redouble our efforts to rapidly find out at any given moment, including even while On-line, who among us are unwittingly contagious (i.e. pre-symptomatic or asymptomatic) in order to convince them to call their doctor and self-quarantine per their doctor in hopes of stopping this pandemic so that we can safely resume in-person gatherings here in the U.S.

I don’t think that handling cash helps with stopping the spread of the covid-19.
Watch. Possible Prevention for CV
It is ridiculous that we are just talking about this monthes into this pandemic when all of this has been onown scientific data for years. But they didnt want to say the word airborn because it might mess up the flow of their money if people realize it could be anywhere even without people in the room with you now
It’s strange, if your protesting or rioting your immune from the covid-19
WELL NOW THE CDC people dont need to get tested lol what a joke even of your exposed THEY WANT US TO DIE….
More crap from the media! Every sensible and intelligent person knows the virus can’t get you if you stand at least 23’ 4 1/4” from others 💩
More fear mongering by NBC. What a sham….according to this people should be scared to breath once we are outside.
Trump Virus 2020-Misuse and abuse of Government Agencies!
VOTE and end the madness!
THEY NEVER WERE AHAHAHA
Oh yeah!, considering that the Covid-19 is on every surface. There won’t be any safe place anymore. Guess that’s when everyone dress up like an astronaut when they go out. Hmmm…maybe it’s about time to live like a fish coz’ the ocean covers 70% of the earths’ surface….LOL!!!
So what about all those “peaceful protestors”? If the civil side is supposed to do everything in the clips they showed, what about the marxists rampaging the streets? Pretty sure they can spread COVID too…
Next they will be saying more than have the population has to go. Come on enough of false flag garbage.
The Bible verse comes to mind…those whose names are not written in the book of Life will believe the lie.
It’s BS liberals, next time in ur news will be said covid is airborne lol
GOP SENATE CONFIRMS TRUMP CAMPAIGN CONSPIRACY W/RUSSIANS!!!!!
INTEL COMM. NAMES MANAFORT AS RUSSIAN SPY FOR PUTIN’S REVENGE!!!
GOP SAYS TRUMP LIED IN SWORN WRITTEN TESTIMONY TO CONGRESS!!!!
ARREST WARRANTS FOR PERJURY SOUGHT,, KUSHNER, JR. AND BANNON!!
Good luck on that already have problems with people complaining about 6 ft and now you want to be 20 feet away from each other……..
I was just watching a WHO current video where the group was sitting 3 feet apart and not wearing a mask. The speaker stated masks are not needed if you are three feet apart. Who do we trust not to get us infected. What a fuster cluck!
Thankyou Good news
So, what you are saying is 26 feet is the suggested distance?
2020 working overtime to reduce our numbers.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vKcvzDwxjGk POLICE KILLED THE WHITE MAN
European social distancing rule is 3 feet. Is this about the virus or is it about the election? Occam’s razor.
The important thing is to wear masks and wash hands frequently. Without that, 6 feet or 20 feet will not be totally effective. What is so difficult for Americans to understand and follow these simple, common sense precautions and use a little discipline? The world thinks we have gone crazy.
https://www.holt.com/covid-19-simulation-indoors/
none of what they are saying in this video is true
Y’all believe this lie?
That’s pure 💩
It’s the tRump administration in control, anymore questions? Cover up, cover up, cover up. Lie, lie, lie and then lie some more.
One thing about it, most of the inbred crowd in red country refuse to wear a mask and that is a good thing. Heh, heh, heh. Ya gotta love it. These people are their own worst enemy.
I sure hope republicons continue to think this all a big hoax, blithering idiots. The way it is going there won’t be any republicans left, love it!
NBC Execs need to be investigated for their Agenda on Covid. They obvisouly have Financial Intrest on the Economy and certain Sectors Tanking.
Yep, ive been saying that all along. There is an actual study done about the 26 feet
Ok What’s Next
1:21 breathtaking
It’s clearly airborne!!! But anyways they will keep packing our schools and universities to the brim. Obviously all those “essential” teachers are expendable. 😒
BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
New report… “We wanted you to be more depressed than you are…”
Please like and subscribe my Channel too. Thank you so much
Please make it a 26 foot rule. I really hate people anywhere near me weather they have covid or not.
They don’t want people to go to the polls
There was no coordinated federal response to covid and here we are
Eventually this has to stop. There’s a financial limit to which we can afford to cope. We cannot get every table at a restaurant 26 square feet
COVID-19 is making idiots of humanity .! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Trump supporters ” Cientest wanna takes away are Freedumb , trump is smarter dan dem”.
masks are worthless too. Social distancing and masks are just feel good measures.
