Boris Johnson is UK's Stalin

Quite harsh isn't it ?

Well I don't expect that Boris Johnson would round up opponents in middle of the night and deport them in Shetland islands, but regarding reducing distancing below 2 m (6 feet) it has the same approach to science as Stalin.

Stalin meddled in the soviet biology when he supported the theory of Lysenko against the scietinfic truth of genetics.

What resulted were a failure of soviet agriculture, famine and death of people, imprisonment of scientist who disagreed.

Boris Johnson is meddling business interests in the epidemiology of COVID and he wants to reduce the social distancing limit of 2 m.

Since 1934 when Wells and Riley they discovered the formula for estimating the number of infected people based of air circulation, it is admitted that the safe distance from an ill person is 1.5-2m.

The original document is hidden behind a pay walls so I could not retrieve it, but I found this article: http://jtd.amegroups.com/article/view/18723/html_1

From which I extract:

" Droplet spread and airborne transmission are two main routes to transmit respiratory diseases. Droplet spread refers to the passage of pathogens from a source to a susceptible through large droplets. It was calculated that droplets of greater than 100 m in diameter released from a height of 2 m deposited on the floor within 3–6 s with less than 1.5 m in horizontal distance at room air temperature and relative humidity of less than 60%, while droplets of less than 100 m evaporated within 3–6 s (17,25,26,30). So droplet-borne transmission is a short-range process, with distance less than 2 m due to the evaporation and high settling velocity of large droplets. "

So the safest distance to be is 2m.

Why BoJo wants to reduce it ?

The pub-industrial complex make pressures for it ?

The real estate price for restaurant, and shops are dropping?

Stalin in his demented mind,willingly killed people for creating a better world.

Boris unwillingly kills people for pub owners.

Brits drink your beer at home.

Make a grill in your backyard, invite some friends, buy beer from supermarket (is cheaper) and wear mask when speaking.

Staying in the open air, with few friend is safer than staying in a crowded room with many people.
