Social Distancing Question

Drop in and dribble on about nothing serious. Seriously a mad place to hang out. Better to avoid it if you're not in the mood!!! If you're determined to be sad, bad, mad & angry then move along!!!

If you have pears in a fruit bowl, how do you know if they came from the same tree? If they came from different trees then each pear would require strict social distancing and no other fruit could be placed in the same bowl no matter what ......... Could explain why the pears and 2 of my miniature rock melons went bad and had to go to the compost bin ... it does appear that the social distancing only applies to those who are not infected, so throwing them in the compost together should have been ok by the rules ..... or have I got this all wrong because I didn't understand the mixed messaging?

Still can't understand why it's ok to crowd into a markets like the Vic market were on Sunday, yet it's against the rules to jog on your own and buy a kebab or stand on your own fishing? :?

T1,
If the pears came from the same tree, itโ€™s OK to put them in the same bowl.
Otherwise they must maintain social distancing of two pear-lengths.
Once in the compost bin, social distancing becomes irrelevant, same as cemeteries and crematoria.
As far as markets go, social crowding is OK, because itโ€™s like in supermarkets, where panic-buying is mandatory.
Fishing ๐ŸŽฃ & surfing ๐Ÿ„โ€โ™€๏ธ are an entirely different kettle of poisson ๐ŸŸ.
If youโ€™re alone on a beach or riverbank you may give yourself Covid-19, therefore you must isolate yourself at home, and not stand alone on the waters edge.
All clear now?
