Great question on BBC Radio 4 World at One today: “So, is there any way we can quantify the difference between staying 1 meter away from each other, vs 2 meters?” ...err ...about a meter?

The NERVE of ministers telling us about our mutual “Civic Duty” in the immediate wake of #DominicCummngs is absolutely astonishing.
