Give it two months and they'll be fighting each other with pitchforks over who gets to eat the corpses. -

Fair enough: Staying at home and away from others (social distancing) - GOV.UKOriginally posted by WTFH View PostIt's bringing communities together while distancing.
Last night, the local "orchestra" had members from one end of the village play "Somewhere over the rainbow", the other end replied a couple of minutes later with "We'll meet again".
All done on saxophones & trumpets.
It was uplifting.
It was also nice that the HCPs in the village also got a bit of extra thanks when they stepped out onto the street.
You should only leave the house for very limited purposes:- shopping for basic necessities, for example food and medicine, which must be as infrequent as possible.
- one form of exercise a day, for example a run, walk, or cycle - alone or with members of your household.
- any medical need, including to donate blood, avoid or escape risk of injury or harm, or to provide care or to help a vulnerable person.
- travelling for work purposes, but only where you cannot work from home.
These reasons are exceptions - even when doing these activities, you should be minimising time spent outside of the home and ensuring you are 2 metres apart from anyone outside of your household.
To make sure people are staying at home and apart from each other, the Government is also stopping all public gatherings of more than two people.
There are only exceptions to this rule for very limited purposes:
- where the gathering is of a group of people who live together – this means that a parent can, for example, take their children to the shops if there is no option to leave them at home
- where the gathering is essential for work purposes - but workers should try to minimise all meetings and other gatherings in the workplace
In addition, the Government is stopping social events, including weddings, baptisms and other religious ceremonies.“Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.”Comment
