MIT researcher says droplets carrying coronavirus can travel up to 27 feet

New research found exhalations (coughs and sneezes, for instance) cause gaseous clouds that can travel up to 27 feet. But the biggest threat with the coronavirus is actually the larger droplets (saliva, snot, spit that come with sneezes and coughs). Those droplets are large enough that gravity still acts on them within about six feet of leaving somebody’s body. That’s where the six-foot rule comes from.
