Is 6 feet far enough?

The paper seems to be making an assumption that the air is "well mixed." I don't see how that holds unless there is no ventilation whatsoever, in which case, CO2 levels will build up to dangerous levels. In the two restaurant case studies I've seen with transmission beyond 6 feet, there is a clear effect of fans moving air from one person to another in the pattern of who gets infected and who doesn't. I haven't seen a documented case of transmission beyond 20 feet.

Yes, it's probably technically possible to transmit COVID from a 60 foot distance, but the probability is much less, and it's inaccurate to say that you're no safer at 60 feet than 6 feet.

In summary: no

The NFL came up with a "three-of-four" metric. If you're not a group of vaccinated people, then it basically means you need to meet three of the following four: 1) limited duration, 2) ventilation (outdoors), 3) distancing, 4) masks

The NYT recently came out with a graphic that is similar, but two-of-three: 1) outdoors, 2) distancing, 3), masks
