10. My only complaint about the 20 minute simulation

was that none of the people were moving, which is unusual for those standing around talking that long. I'd love to see how long droplets hang in the air and where/how quickly they move depending on how people move around, for instance in a grocery store aisle. Maybe then my relatives would stay home.

"But I only went out to the store and back a couple of times this week! Otherwise, I haven't been anywhere!"

I know not everyone can do it, but these are people who definitely can have their groceries delivered and they just will not, because they have to get out of the house on occasion dontchaknow. Don't even get me started on trying to convince them that they need to wipe down, wash and/or timeout everything that comes in from the store (or the mailbox) because *points up* of this kind of thing.

They think I'm overreacting.
