Wouldn't it be better if he kept his distance from others? Why does he feel the need to elbow bump people and not maintain his 2 metre distance? Other MPs have been doing this as well for ages, it's really annoying - there's a more transmissible virus going round, yet they're throwing caution to the wind and hoping their flimsy face masks are like some sort of forcefield stopping any virus particles spreading.
It's sending conflicting messages to the public. It's not necessary. I don't know why the public health bods aren't advising him to stop it!
[Or perhaps they are and he's just being stubborn about it]
