JFK load factors are currently running at about 50%, so about 204 pax. Assuming a full WBC, that leaves 170 pax to share 39 rows, or almost 4.5 per row. With four aisle seats blocked, those pax will have to share six seats, or even only two or four in certain rows. If WBC is also at 50%, then five pax will have to share the available seats in each economy row.
So much for 1½ m separation, let alone 6 ft as recommended in the States.

You and I may be largely solo travellers, but you don't seem to be considering the fact that there will also be couples or other groups travelling, who as a unit are not going to be separated in the manner you suggest above.
