Health authorities all across the world are declaring quarantine and encouraging people to practice social distancing by minimizing contact with other people as much as possible and maintaining a distance of at least six feet between themselves to minimize the toll the hospitals and medical staff are experiencing by slowing the spread of the novel coronavirus. And thankfully, it seems like a lot of people are taking it seriously by sharing advice on how to maintain and even improve your relationships while staying home with your significant other or by creating infographics to make the concept of social distancing easier to understand. However, some people think it’s best just to lead by example are dedicated to making the best of the quarantine period. And to our joy, they took to Twitter to share their ideas!

I was supposed to go to a bottle share but it got cancelled. Maybe we could have done it this way.

When a picture is taken with a wide-angle lens like this it will compress the perception of depth.

The real question should be, why is there no report button cause you are obvious a troll.

Somebody in our neighborhood did this, too - but without the trombone.

Sounds like my husband--he has a fantastic memory for poems and stories, so while we were waiting in line at the grocery store to get supplies for an assisted living, he started reciting Shel Silverstein.

If your ears bleed, you're standing too close. Bagpipes for all to maintain social distancing!

It's a government alcohol shop (the sign says vidhesha madhya (alcohol) shop). They're very common in Kerala.

Thanks! I really had no idea and couldn't have guessed

Every mall and shop must practice social distancing. The best way is by sticking floor decals that you can find in USA, Canada. Shop owners can perhaps find it at https://socialdistancingstickers.com/

"You can guess" No I can't. If you want to say something, say it. Thanks to the other comments for telling it is an alcohol shop
Ra Ga Fan 5 years ago
The person who tweeted this must be a Mallu (person from Kerala). Alcohol shops are THAT common (they're actually a cultural symbol haha), so it's easy for people who are vaguely familiar with Kerala to guess what it is.

I can see "state beverages" on the sign. Is it a shop that sells alcohol?

I wouldn't let my kid do that. The ball is going back and forth. It's not breath, but droplets. They can pass it to eachother on the ball. Defeats the whole purpose

Now that there’s a virus going around, they go outside to play when otherwise they’d all be in their rooms playing video games 😂

Guys, you're smiling now, but wait until you can't leave your home. Social distancing, yet meeting up with people on the streets. Sure, it's fun now but... Geez, I live in Spain. We're quarantined. We might still try to keep spirits high, go out to dance on our balconies, give a nightly ovation to everyone who is working to eradicate this, etc., but it actually really sucks. Take all the precautions you can because I don't even want to imagine how the US--without universal healthcare or laws protecting workers who can't go to work--is going to deal with the pandemic...

I wish this was how people were acting in my city (Edmonton, AB - currently 119 cases). Had to go to the shops this morning for a few things and no one (besides myself) were maintaining any sort of distance between one another. S**t's real people. Take this kind of thing seriously... lots of elderly and immune compromised people out there!

We are keeping our distance, but still trying to help each other. There are several of us in this neighborhood with dogs to walk. We told all of our neighbors, if you need something, anything, tape a note to your door. One of the dog-walking neighbors will see it, get the note and do our best to get you what you need. So far this week, I have left groceries for two neighbors and a prescription for another. One of the other dog people has done grocery shopping for two more neighbors. We can't socialize, but we can still help.

Unless people live in apartments or places with no backyards, there's no need to walk the dogs. We have 2 dogs, and very fortunately a back yard. We just play "keep away" with toys to tucker them out. It's working. However everyone else on my street ALSO with substantial back yards are walking around, getting close with others like it ain't no thing. I do not understand it.

I love the happy hours and the aerobics gatherings where most people def seem to be far enough apart. That way, they're way less lonely!

Here in South Africa, we have just ended Day 1 of a 21-day Lockdown. I live in a retirement village, none of us are allowed out of the gates, for fear of bringing the virus in, washing hands, socially distancing. No dog-walking allowed on the streets, luckily we have plenty of room in the village, for that. In our dining area, only 2 to a table, very few in the large Lounge area, I'm feeling lonely, so BP is an entertainment.

Those people are idiots. SD means you stay in your f*****g house and yard, not meet up in public.

If you're OUTSIDE, enough distance away (more than 6 feet/2 meters, though I would be mindful of the wind), you're not going to catch the virus. The droplets are heavy and don't stay in the air past six feet (2 meters). The people who are staying far enough away are fine, and it's good for their mental health to be able to have that kind of contact with each other, so it's okay.
