This suggests to me that we don’t just want to consider distance. Time and speed are both elements here too. I think that is actually something people can understand intuitively if they get some basic information. Most people are not challenged with knowing where they need to be to catch the fly ball. Here they just need to have a reasonable sense of where not to be.
So the message really isn’t X distance but several factors that can include a distance metric.
However, the other aspect here is not safe (pick you metric) versus not safe. It’s about level or risk and what that implies about actions to take. This could be anything from what types of PPE one uses to thinks like everyone adopting inside versus outside clothing (a bit like biohazard suits in those labs but probably more like a mechanic’s overalls) and increased use of “mud rooms” in housing.
