So like, if you had a guy with AIDS, and a line of like, a million people, and they like, cut the palms of their hands and all held hands in a giant line of people one by one, how long would it take for the AIDS to travel from the AIDS guy to the guy at the end of the line?
I need an answer by 12:00 or else I don't get into college.
With a million people the continuum approximation would soon fail. You'd probably have to start accounting for dilution of virus particles through the body of each person pretty quickly.. in the end the reproductive rate of the virus would probably become relevant.
(ie. I don't know, but I think you're wrong)
Thx!
Is it KK if I plagiarize? Thx.
KK.

That's what the rifle and pipe bombs are for.
I generally judged the speed of AIDS by how long it takes to get your mother into bed.
But for your scenario, blood travels -3 feet per second, so let's say people are standing with their arms straight out (~6 foot wingspan). Let's take the optimal case for each person where the blood runs directly from your left hand to your heart to your right hand, so it takes 2 seconds per person in this very specific scenario.
1,000,000 people * 2 seconds per person = 2,000,000 seconds
