One has the right to ask if a policy that was unjustly and arbitrarily imposed upon the nation at great cost can be casually and arbitrarily changed to something else, then what was the rationale underpinning the decision in the first place? Not much, as it turns out. Here, I’d like to give a shout out to Sean Davis at the Federalist for the inspiration:

Wow, NYT, after a full year, admits this. https://nytimes.com/2021/03/16/health/coronavirus-schools-social-distance.html //

The origin of the six-foot distancing recommendation is something of a mystery. “It’s almost like it was pulled out of thin air,” said Linsey Marr, an expert on viral transmission at Virginia Tech University. //

We have undergone severe social and economic dislocation. The only places showing progress are those who decided to get about their lives and treat the sick as needed.
