Which social distancing measures would you find most tolerable to continue?

[lljkk]

For me:

Supporting people who want to wear masks but not making it compulsory to wear one except maybe on peak time public transport (those really are the only crowded services where I live); and on London underground of course

Pubs & restaurants stay closed if they can't do 2m betw customer groups

No mass gathering events or team sport (> 6 persons): sorry, sports fans

No live theatre or other performance audiences

One adult only in each group going into a shop/supermarket

Some travel restrictions

Schools, colleges & Unis open but some kind of reduced social contact within schools, so maybe reduced hours

But people can go to offices, most kids have a school routine, haircuts & swimming are possible, etc.

What measures do you hope might be enough & not too painful & sustainable, until we get a vaccine?

I feel gutted about DC getting no education, delayed starts until when, nobody knows.

If masks are made compulsory then I would have to drive to work and park 1 mile away from office (long story why) & walk slowly (doubt I can walk briskly with a mask on). I would have to stop all outdoor exercise, anyway. There is rumour about masks being compulsory in offices so basically I'd continue working from home even though I hate that almost as much as having a thing strapped on my face for 10 hrs/day.

All the job losses linked to leisure & tourism & beauty don't directly affect me, but the financial meltdown sure will.

The opposition here to schools being open and insistence on masks upset me so much that I stop caring about who might die without lockdown.

I would like to abstain from social kissing forever. I loathe it, but go with the flow (or I used to) to fit in.

@lljkk doubt I can walk briskly with a mask on
You're supposed to put it in your face, not tie it round your feet.

You seem to be taking concern from others about opening up close social contact as a personal slight. Lockdown hasn't been put in place because people dislike pubs and restaurants, it's just to limit how many people catch the disease at once, and potentially (if we consider viral load) how badly they get it. We are all missing out on things we usually take for granted, and we are all finding some things very hard. Why do you think you're taking the lockdown so personally?

I'd like to stay working at home and to be able to avoid public transport.

@xQueenMabx I had a repeat biopsy on 23 March and the gynaecologist told me that even once the clinic closed for routine appointments, stuff like my screening would still be done. Is it worth calling the hospital? ( my all clear letter cane last week thank god)

Happy with everything as it apart from being unable to see friends and family.
