Just to Chuck my two pennorth in, at the vaccination centre today we were spaced as we waited in a snaking winding queue, by islands stuck on the floor two metres distanced ,BUT, as corners were turned when the queue moved up, you eventually came alongside another person with only a silken rope keeping you apart! The islands needed staggering better, they were apart longitudinally but not horizontally.Hope my explanation is clear.
A silken rope is not Covid 19 proof is it?
This was inside of course ,give me the choice between that and a walk in fresh air with a friend -( oh if only!) I’d take the walk as the safer option by far.
Pheno , the rules are there ,granted , but so mixed up etc, RTL on a bus is seemingly OK ,?

? She does essential work.
Why can people drink in daylight but not after six?Theybare still in the company of others.
Dies Covid 19 only come out after dark?
We are falling victim to the muddled thinking of those who decide these things for us.Nothing is really clear cut.
We trying our best and sometimes that means great sacrifice, to the detriment of other aspects of our general well-being .
People in Supermarkets don’t keep a good distance apart ,nor did they in the Eye Dept on my last few visits ,partly because the waiting area for the pharmacy was much too small for the teens of patients waiting.
A narrow through corridor was entirely blocked by people who had no idea what two metres were and
had they known,and given that space
they would not have heard their name called after - wait for it , a one and a quarter hour wait!!!!!
And that in a hospital! !!( I am running out of exclamation marks!- hah ,found one.)
Two metres apart in a narrow corridor and teens of people waiting,the queue would have been half way to Oldham.
You are right in theory up to a point ,but in the fresh air ,masked etc , I think that also compares favourably with the many less safe situations that
are allowed .
Let us stay friendly ,and benefit from the support we all get as and when needed .
