Social distancing still the law but people seem to have forgotten this

Is it just me or have people forgotten they are meant to stay 2m apart unless that's not possible in which case they can go up to 1m+??

I keep seeing photos on Facebook of friends cheek to cheek, holding babies etc. When I'm out and about people standing close socialising, touching each other when they are clearing not family (elbow knocking as a greeting so not 1m+)

I feel people should know this and it's socially awkward to remind them as adults of this but it's the law, not just guidance.

This is having an impact already. The COVID-19 reporting app was all pale pink for low numbers for a number of weeks and now today it's covered in medium and dark pink blocks where the numbers are going up again. This is the impact of people forgetting to social distance all the time.

What do you do if someone is clearly ignoring the rules, in person or on social media. Do you tell them or leave them to it?

@SengaStrawberry

Plenty of us are complying with the rules. We don’t see the need to show off about it as if we’re the only one and berate other people.
Exactly.
