Why does a sneeze go up to 20 feet? And why are we staying six feet apart. Shouldn't we be staying 20 feet apart. But at the same time, we have masks so the sneezing thing shouldn't be a problem. But should we stay away from people who don't have masks?

Answer:

When most people sneeze, they usually take a deep breathe before actually sneezing. The reason this happens is because your body is trying to get rid of an unknown substance, whether it be dust or hair or whatever. We should be staying farther apart, but in reality, most buildings are built for social distancing. So it would be unrealistic to be 20 feet apart at all times. We do have masks but if you're talking about the virus, it can be transmitted through other way. Also, some people don't feel the need to wear a mask. Yes, you should be staying away from people who don't have masks. But in general, you should be social distancing from everyone.

Answer:

Yes. Stay away from people without masks. also for the sneezing thing although it seems unsanitary and gross its best to stand in the front or back of the person who is sneezing. since the mask will block the sneeze from the front and obviously they cant sneeze backwards. but since the mask and their head is blocking the front snot and germs can still come out of the sides.
