Nobody wants to hear what your rules are.
Not in this comments box anyway.

I think one of the simplest bits of guidance I heard (way back in March) was "act like you've got it"). I wonder where we'd be now if more people had followed that.

Hang in there, DG. It's the point where things are just seeming like an endless grind, no matter what end of the spectrum one is on.

There are rules and then there is what a reasonable man would do

Yup - and I guess the posts above and all the eventual comments on them are designed to illustrate this.
Being someone who loves solitude, being single and living alone has been no hardship. It's not fear of catching Covid that's keeping me indoors, it's that it still feels like the happiest place to be for precisely all those things dg illustrates here.

Oh dear. I get to the end of almost every DG post happier than when I started.

Yes, this pandemic has definitely been an interesting insight into human nature. Especially when it comes to our varying reactions to rules, experts and science.

If only we could be given understandable guidelines and have the ability to use them correctly.
At the moment anyone following all the rules to the letter but spending lots of time out and about is likely to contribute more to the spread of the virus than someone who, having been stuck at home for days, perhaps ventures out for an evening with a large group of people, maybe even hugs a few, then stays at home for the rest of the week.

Relevant to passing people in the street, the following is from the gov test and trace guidance. The 2m 15mins time element in particular.
"if you have had any close contact with anyone other than members of your household. We are interested in the 48 hours before you developed symptoms and the time since you developed symptoms. Close contact means
• having face-to-face contact with someone less than 1 metre away (this will include times where you have worn a face covering or a face mask)
• spending more than 15 minutes within 2 metres of someone"

The first three parts of the post are...
» a concern, but seriously overhyped
» a genuine issue, probably
» totally made up
Plenty of examples of reasoned argument and/or subjective intolerance all round.
