Things you just "don't get"?

People currently going ahead with pre booked trips

People expecting a 2 metre passing distance between people in busy areas.
While I don't want any lingering close contact with anyone, I firmly believe that someone passing me on the street within a metre of me causes me no threat.
(unless they are actually sneezing and/or coughing - but no one is going around sneezing and coughing on people except crazy scumbags)

Also, if you look at the marks on the ground indicating required spacing - they are, generally, only about 1.5m apart.
I think they've suggested 2m in the hope that people will actually stay 1m apart.

I expect 2 metre passing distance, this attitude is whats spreading the virus. There should be no busy areas at the moment and the fact there is shows people are idiots and are not taking the stay at home message seriously.

I've turned around and gone home more than once recently when I looked at the place I was going and decided I couldn't maintain social distance. This is what you and everyone else should be doing also. Taking into account I get shopping delivered and only go to the shop that doesn't deliver once every few weeks I have had a high incidence of having to turn around when going further than the few 100 metres I go once a day for a walk.

I just don't get peoples total ignorance on the seriousness of this virus.

It’s getting progressively busier outdoors and in the shops. Places I have recently found crowded are Supervalue, Churchtown, and Lidl, Nutgrove. Noticed a lot of bicycle Etc meet-ups in Churchtown & Milltown where there are takeaway coffees.

How come the most beautiful women thread is on its second or third reincarnation but the beautiful mens thread hasn't even got 1000 posts yet?
They were started at the same time.
Are there just more attractive women than men in the world or what?

You should leave the delivery slots for vulnerable and less able people.

Elon Musk. He's not charismatic and is kind of annoying but people love to say they love him

No I shouldn’t, anyone who can get delivery organised should avail of it. Every person who limits their interaction limits the chances of spreading the virus. There is loads of delivery slots available from our local SuperValue you just always have to keep a slot booked a week in advance. We also order for relations who are cocooning so we are getting to full weekly shops in one delivery. Would be a two person job in person as would need two trolleys. Also includes my beer order for the week so no going to off-licences etc again limiting interaction.
