One day in the fall of 2020, I came across a woman wearing a shirt that said, in large letters, "if you can read this, you're standing too close." I could read it from about 50 feet away. So your analogy of how ridiculous it would be to create a 20-foot buffer to alleviate somebody's anxiety is, if anything, a conservative approximation to actual hysteria that I have witnessed.

Not to mention that this woman was walking along a sidewalk in a densely populated urban area. The arrogance of somebody who would claim some kind of moralistic dominion over a 100-foot diameter of public space is absolutely stunning.

My fiancé wanted to walk around with a tape measured extended to six feet to measure distance and keep people away to show how ridiculous the whole thing is. I still think he should have done it to mock the Karens.

I saw the same shirt on a man who was also double-masked with a face visor. So stunning, so brave.
