Experts tell White House coronavirus can spread through talking or even breathing

No. Distancing reduces the probability of being infected regardless, but the probability does not drop rapidly to zero at a certain distance as you might expect.
Until they catch on it's air borne, then you'll have to place an order and collect it outside.
Outside is okay it says, re open the beaches and stop shaming people for walking on there own in the peaks with drones then, muppets.
London over 80%, rest of the UK over 80% about 7days ago but waiting on the 14day lag so about 7days till peak crossed being visible.
Especially if your 2metres behind someone and your where they where 1second earlier that's before, with airborne and heaters on creating convection currents, 1 infected walks in and breathes or talks even worse then the entire shop becomes sharing ground for many hours to come.
Already had it, can those who's been infected, not put a cross on our heads and go back to normal life please with all the other cross heads ??

Hmmmm he looked tasty!!
It would be even worse without social distancing. Our nations main failure was in not ramping up testing in January to be ready to test everyone by late February and telling people not to bother with wearing masks. Both those failures of the Federal Administration cost many lives. The incompetence in the Trump administration is monumental. We are experiencing a worst case result of appointing people to positions of authority based on loyalty and political contribution instead of competence. In our case, this is a direct consequence of the person doing the appointing having a dangerous personality disorder. Our president has repeatedly, and intentionally, bypassed the Senate confirmation process, by appointing "acting" rather than permanent agency heads.
We were warned by psychiatrists, even before the election, that the candidate who is now our President might be dangerous. We have had opportunities to correct the situation but we didn't. Sadly, we are experiencing far more sickness and death than we would have had, if only we had greater competence in our Federal administration. There are highly competent people throughout our Federal agencies. When that competence does not reach the top, however, we have learned the hard way that the consequences can be disastrous. It is those at the top that have the necessary authority over expenditure and can issue directives that must be obeyed. The agency heads must also be counted on to speak truth to power when it's absolutely necessary. Recently in the Georgia governor we saw a microcosmic demonstration at the State level of the kind of incompetence that exists at the top of some of our critical Federal agencies.

Could everyone in your situation wear a mask? Is there temperature screening. There should be regular testing of everyone. If the risk can not be minimized in some way, than the operation, whatever it is, should be shut down.
Personally, I think lockdowns are too far and doing too much damage / cost to everyone else, only people that should be locked away are the old and ill. Distancing fair enough, no real harm being done, might slow slightly.
Not really into testing, once it became wild it was too late, so very early stages only, got to accept everyone is going to get it and pretty damn quickly, testing takes time, not everyone contagious has a temperature or even a cough, it's imperfect why bother.
If you fight it and stop people getting it, then you need to close borders till it's gone for ages till it's 100% burnt out, or you'll just have to fight it again and again.
The world is treating it, like it's a 50% population fatality rate, it's not it's a 0.1% area.
This is incorrect. Zero point one is an order of magnitude too low. It is 1-3% dependent on the demographics of the particular population affected, and assuming there are enough respirators available. But it isn't just death, its being so ill you wish you were dead, its potential permanent lung damage, its all of the resources needed to save thousands of critically ill. That's what makes it worth the expenditure of money and effort to prevent as many infections as possible. Prevention done right is 3 orders of magnitude less expensive than infection. We, in the United States, are not gaining that full three orders of savings, because we did not do it right!
