I have never operated under the illusion that 6 ft and 15 minutes would protect me individually. But in public health there is always tension between what is good for the individual and what is good for the population.

My question is this: do you think the 6 ft 15 minute rule is enough to reduce transmission rates enough to curtail effective circulation of the virus? I mean of course, would it be enough if most of us actually followed the rule?
