I'm going to go with the MIT associate professor on this, but even 17 feet would be outrageous.
I'm an engineering tech with Intel and we are keeping the line going, cranking out boards. We are going with 6 ft. social distancing. I think it is probably madness, but it keeps me employed. I don't go out anymore and neither does my family.
Could be the difference between gaseous clouds and visible droplets.
Yes, the six feet is considering large droplets. If you read the article I posted she was working with fine mists, which is what happens when you sneeze or to some degree when you exhale although with much less force. The mist hangs in the air, so imagine following someone while they are farting although there is no smell and the contamination is coming from their mouth.
