Just in case anybody, or anybody you know, thinks that social distancing is overkill in the present circumstances, we decided to post this infographic that shows the huge impact that we can all make on transmission of the virus, simply by not mixing with those outside our households.

Keep your distance, keep safe, keep running, keep smiling.

Seems to be working well here in New Zealand, almost everyone is onboard and making the best of it. I’m walking or running every day and there are a lot more people out doing the same but everyone is maintaining a distance with a smile and a friendly wave.

The same here in the UK.

The vast majority are considerate and respectful but I did hear a shop worker on the radio who had been abused after asking someone to keep their distance and was told "I am not a leper." There are always some idiots.........

Same here, there are always a few but they really are just a few.

I'm actually quite at ease. People normally stay out of my way and I'm not too keen to join them either. 😉

Excellent graphic. Yes most are observing social distancing but I do think there are a few idiots around who selfishly think 'they'll be ok' & don't think of others 😒 Stay safe 😷

The graphic speaks for itself. Tough times for some people but necessary if we value the lives of our most vulnerable (and some not so!)

I posted this on Facebook this weekend, it is brilliant for explaining the why. I would love everyone to keep their distance so I can go out for a run in 11 weeks (1 week out of 12 done). Thank you in advance all that do 😀. Stay safe. Rfc x

Thank you IannodaTruffe ...there’s always one or two people who don’t ‘get it’ and think that everything’s an over reaction....but this is very serious stuff, not only for ourselves but for each other...hopefully, after all of this, people will stop being so self centred and think of others more...and the way we live our lives...hope everyone on here is safe, well and running when they can xx
