I'm not noticing a lot of the 6' social distancing when shopping except for when people are in line at checkout or the pharmacy. Just out of curiosity, I walked off 6'. It's about 3 normal steps distance for me, the normal distance I'd keep from anyone regardless. Just observing people, it's easy to see they naturally space themselves. Think about it, when sitting in an office, movie theatre, church, classroom, people don't sit right beside others unless it's absolutely necessary. Even with assigned seating, if there are empty seats, people will move to give themselves more space.
Tbh, I think ventilation systems have as much, if not more, to do with spread as masks and social distancing. If I were a business or company, I'd be buying the best air filters I could and installing them.
