Two metres or one: what is the evidence for physical distancing in covid-19? | The BMJ
Two metres or one: what is the evidence for physical distancing in covid-19? | The BMJ: Rigid safe distancing rules are an oversimplification based on outdated science and experiences of past viruses, argue Nicholas R Jones and colleagues
Physical distancing is an important part of measures to control covid-19, but exactly how far away and for how long contact is safe in different contexts is unclear. Rules that stipulate a single specific physical distance (1 or 2 metres) between individuals to reduce transmission of SARS-CoV-2, the virus causing covid-19, are based on an outdated, dichotomous notion of respiratory droplet size. This overlooks the physics of respiratory emissions, where droplets of all sizes are trapped and moved by the exhaled moist and hot turbulent gas cloud that keeps them concentrated as it carries them over metres in a few seconds.12 After the cloud slows sufficiently, ventilation, specific patterns of airflow, and type of activity become important. Viral load of the emitter, duration of exposure, and susceptibility of an individual to infection are also important.
Instead of single, fixed physical distance rules, we propose graded recommendations that better reflect the multiple factors that combine to determine risk. This would provide gre

Navigating the arcane world of Regional Transmission Organizations (RTOs) is nearly impossible – yet critically important.
Join our webinar to learn how RTOs make decisions, on a range of topics, that have major implications for your business opportunities.

 |
The challenge to our industry is that all seven of the RTOs (CAISO, ERCOT, ISO-NE, MISO, NYISO, PJM & SPP) have their own set of committees, subcommittees, task forces, etc., to come up with wholesale electricity market rules.
How can advanced energy companies make sense of, keep track of, and have impact on what’s happening?
In our September 29th webinar:
