The Message is Changing

Apparently this weekend we're moving away from "stay home" and towards "stay alert". Of course, the pro-lock down crowd are claiming it's incredibly irresponsible to do this. Whereas people like myself are complaining that it doesn't go far enough.

The colours are pretty ugly, no doubt for some desired psychological effect. Out of boredom, and a vague sense of patriotism, I changed the colours to something more British last night when I first saw it.

The way simply changing the colours changes the feel is quite fascinating really.

Also I saw someone share this on Twitter. From Sweden's public health authority. It's interesting as it also uses "arm's length" as a good rule of thumb for social distancing.

"There are currently no studies that show any exact limit for what distance is safe, but considering how the drip center spreads, a benchmark could be at least one arm's length distance."

Again, nature and common sense mean we're well designed to deal with these things.
