Putting Safe Distance Measures to the Sneeze Test

The video explores the effectiveness of different safe distancing measures using mannequins and a luminous concoction to visualize droplet spread. Distances of 1 meter, 1.5 meters, and 2 meters are tested, revealing that even at 2 meters, droplets can still reach others, especially if they touch their face or clothing. A study from MIT suggests droplets can travel up to 8 meters, indicating that current distancing guidelines may not be sufficient. The video emphasizes the importance of maintaining greater distances to reduce the risk of virus transmission.

What is the purpose of using a luminous concoction in the experiment?

• To disinfect the mannequins

• To measure the temperature of the room

• To visualize where droplets land when sneezing

• To make the mannequins glow in the dark

What was observed when sneezing at a distance of 1 meter?

• The mannequin remained completely clean

• Droplets covered the mannequin's head and face

• No droplets reached the mannequin

• Droplets only reached the mannequin's feet

Why is 1.5 meters not considered a safe distance?

• Droplets still reached the mannequin's neck and arms

• The mannequin was completely clean

• The mannequin was too far to be affected

• The experiment was inconclusive

What was the result of sneezing at a distance of 2 meters?

• The mannequin was completely clean

• No droplets reached the mannequin

• The mannequin was unaffected

• Some droplets still landed on the mannequin's chest and arms

According to the experiment, how far can mucus and saliva potentially travel?

• 8 meters

• 2 meters

• 4 meters

• 6 meters
