In retrospect, we can see what arbitrary nonsense it mostly was.
It would be funny if it weren’t tragic.Īnd why two metres, not three or four? Did that most zealous of lockdown zealots, Michael Gove, deploy a Harry Potter sorting hat to establish the correct distance we should maintain to “stay safe”? The risk of catching it through fomite (surface) transmission is very low.Ģ) “Using screens or barriers to separate people from each other.” Verdict: Clever virus can jump over barriers and screens! Clue is in the word (airborne).ģ) “Using back-to-back or side-to-side working (rather than face-to-face).” Verdict: Mr Bean levels of infection control.
Covid19 is an airborne respiratory virus. “To maintain two-metre social-distancing wherever possible, including while arriving at and departing from work… Where the social-distancing guidelines cannot be followed in full in relation to a particular activity, businesses should consider whether that activity needs to continue for the business to operate and, if so, take all the mitigating actions possible to reduce the risk of transmission between their staff.”ġ) “Further increasing the frequency of handwashing and surface cleaning.” Verdict: Totally pointless. Did we actually go along with this stuff? I just looked up the official guidance for Social Distancing at Work, May 2020. Things I Do So You Don’t Have To: Part 391.
