Since the beginning of COVID-19, I have heard two numbers associated with reducing the risk of catching the virus from someone else. Six feet – that's how far we were told to stay from others. And 15 minutes – that's said to be a cutoff for close contact. But the delta variant is more contagious. So shouldn't it be – I dunno – zero feet and 15 seconds? Seriously, what's the recommendation now?
