  • The experiment does an incredible job illustrating how social distancing works.

    I think this is more of an example of what happens when you lock someone inside too long.

    I would have liked to have had the mousetraps secured/glued down, so that only the pingpong balls were triggers.

    Why does anybody even need an example of social distancing in some symbolic fashion when the concept is perfectly understandable and requires no further explanation as it stands? Anyone who doesn't get it surely has even less chance when you go stretching thing to analogies and symbolism. My grandmother wasn't well educated but she said: "don't get near that, germs spread" and we understood without any more explanation that that too.

      6' with a virus having 30' spread on average is just a placebo.

      It can have a 30ft spread IF you sneeze and cough WITHOUT a face mask. If both people are wearing masks then the range is greatly reduced, as is the risk. If you think it’s placebo, try checking out the countries that have mortality rates of 1% of the US and how they have controlled the spread using social distancing and masks.

      That’s why C19 spreads so fast, if everyone felt like crap and stayed home it wouldn’t be anywhere near as widespread. It’s the asymptomatic that spread it.
      Ebola for example has a mortality rate of 50% (compared to C19 at between 1-1.5%) but it’s easier to contain because the symptoms are so obvious and severe. How are you gonna behave if the next pandemic is a mix of the 2? A death rate of 20-30% and you’re asymptomatic for a week before the symptoms first show. Are you gonna have a hissy fit because you’ve got to wear a mask then?
      Treat C19 as a western wake up call, Asia knew already how to control the spread because they’d already had serious respiratory viruses, that’s why most countries have a per capita death rate of 1-2% of that in the US. Fortunately New Zealand and Australia learnt from them and have only lost a handful. While America, with only 4% of the worlds population has 20% of the deaths.
      550,000 dead is pretty dangerous when you take into account that only 10% of America has been infected. Spanish flu was 1-3 times more deadly (depending which stats you read) and that killed 3% of the worlds population. Thanks to medical advances this pandemic has not been as bad as it could have been, that doesn’t mean the next one won’t be.
      The dead are the headline news but what people forget is the after effects can be long term and extremely serious. A former national teammate of mine (I’m retired) that had no pre-existing conditions has been off work for months and was lucky to survive. We think he’s out of the woods now but it’s left him a shadow of his former self and unsure if he’ll ever be fit enough to take part in competitive sport at any level, let alone nationally or internationally.
      Did you know that the reason the Black Death was so deadly is because it had an incubation period of over a month? Even with the limited transport of the Middle Ages it helped to make it the deadliest pandemics in history?

      Try Googling it. The CDC, Johns Hopkins and several others have similar numbers. While you at it check out the excess deaths over recent years and it’s even higher.

      What is you point re pneumonia? Would the patients have contracted pneumonia without getting C19 first?

    it's an oxymoron. Use your brain. none of those ping pong balls were hurt. Just shaken up. Being social isn't staying away from people. Distancing yourself from people isn't being social. . Why was the contaminated ping pong ball yellow????? Wasn't using ping pong balls raciest enough for you?

      Pepsi did this years before either of them. And Pepsi was far from the first.
      The earliest post I myself saw of the Ohio version was from April 9. And I was quite disappointed with what they did.
      They showed ZERO traps being set off after spacing was done. So their video had this propaganda feel to it.
      Spangler's version here is much better, in that regard. His analogy communicates that spacing will not stop the spread, but is quite effective in slowing it down.
