I get that this is just a joke.

However… You do realize that the fan is just agitating the airborne virus and generating infective turbulences that reach far wider than normal, impacting even the inventor.

Far more effective

Yes, so he can adjust social distance depending on speed.
Fan turned off = 1.5m

Today I learned the difference between airborne contagions and the other kind. Covid does not remain viable after drying out, while diseases like anthrax,tuberculosis,and measles can spread in dry little dust motes.

If a sick person sneezed into this fan it might make a difference, but otherwise Id say it’s mostly harmless.

I see a close encounters of the third kind reference and a hitchhiker’s guide reference. I’m a fan.
