Anyone else think we just cut out head off because of a nose bleed?

41,000 people dying isn’t a nose bleed.
Social distancing is the key to minimising the virus death toll. It is impossible to work normally and keep 2 metres. So we shut all but food buying. It has undoubtedly saved lives.
You think 41,000 deaths is acceptable. What figure would you find unacceptable the?

It's everywhere that 2 meters was a randomly plucked length with little back-up to show that 1m would be worse and 3m better. We've all sucked it in though - personally I'm sick to death of shop assistants swerving maniacally if they think I'm too close to the tills like I'm spitting the black death on them.
2 metres wasn’t entirely random. It is the minimum distance from which you cannot physically touch someone. A sneeze can travel up to 8 metres, but 8m social distancing isn’t practical.
You are sick to death (groan) of shop assistants disapproving when you break the 2 metre advice. I suspect they are even more sick of people who cannot follow a very simple rule.

2 m or 6 ' is based on science fact
the surface area of any sphere is 4pi r squ - I metre - 12 sq m
radius 2 m - - 48 sq m
so by doubling the radius you quarter 48/12 the stuff raching the perimeter - so at 2m each sq m receives 2% of naughty stuff
and a 98% miss rate ( 100-2) is deemed by those who rule us to be acceptiable
but you really always knew that didnt you?
2 m works out ( above ) as the safe distance for - electric charge, magnetic field, X ray - (*)
radsio waves in aircraft - wifi and so on and so on
(*) in fact anything obeying an inverse square law (whose flux obeys an inverse square law) - but you really knew that as well huh

Funnily enough I do know how to work out the SA of a sphere and I think your argument would have had 8 times the impact had you used volume instead. That doesn't make it a scientific reason to pick 2m though, in reality a covid sneeze (and more than 2% of it) would probably travel way more than that - but I don't see people sneezing left right and centre everywhere I go. Other parts of Europe picked 1.5 didn't they? We might reduce to 1m mightn't we - and why, are people sneezing with less force now?
