Yes, I too have a math degree and the mean population density of 
California is ~98/sq km and yes, all the people in CA could stand well 
more than 1 m apart and no one would need scuba tanks or find themselves 
in Nevada [or Oregon or Arizona or Baja California].  I made it up ... 
it was intended as a joke.  It's a good thing I ended up supporting my 
family with math and engineering degrees since I don't hold a degree in 
comedy and apparently  I suck at it. [:=)
