Shall I patent this idea for social distancing?

[Coronapip]

How many people even know how far 2m away is?

I was thinking a zorb would do the trick. Stops people buying crap too.

How about the cone of shame that cat / dogs wear but sealed and 2m in radius?!

With eye holes ...?

I should have added a button to press to collapse rotors when approaching doorways

You might come a cropper getting through the front door

The best, but not cheeriest, reminder is ‘leave enough space for a dead relative lying on the floor’.
Admittedly, only works if your relatives are quite tall.

DH has a metre rule which I told him he should wave about when he has to go to the supermarket. It's shorter than the required distance but I reckon people would stay further away from him than the end of the rule.

That looks like a lethal weapon.

It’s one Richard Osman I think.

This one, Medianoche?

It’s like a 20th century chastity belt.

Plus it keeps the kids away as well! Bonus.

Works in all levels.

Just use a hula hoop everywhere you go and it has the added benefit of keeping you agile and slim.

On the news this morning they said its the length of Peter Crouch. I'm imagining hundreds of people walking around swinging life Peter Crouch dolls around themselves in Lidl.

Or here's another potential application: those who refuse to comply with social distancing HAVE to wear one, by law - like a tag...

I saw official guidance that said 2 metres (around 3 steps) away.
I'm sure 3 steps, unless they are Basil-Fawlty-Esque, are not 2m.

Reminds me of the collars they made slaves wear

Tell the idiots still crowding onto the London tubes...

I think someone beat you to it OP.

I’m thinking of getting a Scarlett O’Hara 👗 I can do a LOT of swishing in that!

All need one of these, just hose it down with detergent and warm water when you get home.

@fadedred like it, but how do you pick stuff up at the supermarket 🧐

Fuck me, that's brilliant. I'll take six. How much?

£19.99 on t’interweb- marketed for weddings/proms/race meetings where people(women) are wearing big posh frocks.

@MissPoldark - long reach grabber - available all over the place, but especially in shops that sell disability aids.

I was just thinking of taking a hockey stick and waving that around...
