The New York Times has a pretty convincing interactive feature illustrating why we need to do social distancing. It shows how far droplets of virus-infected spittle travel from a cough or a sneeze. This is one of those things that once you’ve seen it, you can’t unsee it. But you need to see it.

I cannot believe that we ever took seriously WHO’s directive that wearing masks is not especially effective.
