Social distancing is now 6 feet

Maybe it is out of habit that it feels weird to observe a big distance when in line.

@Alexandoy Maybe it's the fear of someone cutting in front of you in the line so people dislike the distance. But seriously, if you just pay attention to who's in front and back of you, it shouldn't be a problem. Sometimes, when I'm in line, I'm tempted to police the line and call the attention of people not paying attention when the line moves. Hehehe.

@moirai you are like me. I also do that when someone is out of order in the line. I try to put some order so it will be fair to everyone.

@Alexandoy They need to remove every other tape off . . . then there's the 6ft .

The red tape markers on the floor of the supermarket for the line to the cashier is just 3 feet.

@much2say okay, I will tell that to the manager. I am serious, not a joke.

@Alexandoy I guess I'll find out, the next time I have a need to go, if at least the banks and grocery stores I go to will be able to follow this new distance. They've been doing a pretty good job so far. Unlike those pictures I see on social media of people in other places not practicing any social distancing at all.

@moirai the market place is more crowded than the one in the picture. Maybe the enforcement of the distancing should be more strict.

Yes, it is now 2 meters or 6 feet.

It is still the 3 feet that is being observed here.

I still have not ventured to a grocery store so I have no clue what is happening here @Alexandoy

@rebelann I am not against such rules but my point is the enforcement. People have the force of habit to not adapt to the new rule.

@Mamerto32 you are lucky to find a supermarket with a short queue. Here, the line is at least 50 people.

If we do not follow the 6 feet distance then we might land 6 feet under the ground, waheehee.

@Alexandoy hehe agree! In fact whenever I go out shopping,I always do that in early morning and choose the least crowded grocery store. This shop Savemore got shorter queue so I always go there.

What is the distance of the marking? Here, it is like 3 feet only.

@Aleskys now they say it should be 6 feet.

@Alexandoy Yes also only 3 feet !!

@Alexandoy I queued up and several people over the dividing line, I was dizzy about what I wanted to buy if things aren't always there.

@May2k8 same here, so many items were not available

Half a meter is too close.

@Alexandoy yes I think that's the one I think.

I think that study was done in China inside the hospital where the patients are confined.

I think it was the advice of WHO.

I agree that we really don't know the safe distance. That means we are still back on square one which is stay-at-home.

Until now we are still with the 3 feet.

the farther, the better for safety.

@Alexandoy I agree with you.

I like that line about making little progress. That is what we should do - cooperate so we can help stop the contamination.

Here, it is still 1 meter.

@Alexandoy Yes

That is true. Even with the 3 feet, one supermarket here has more than 50 customers, you can imagine the very long line that it will create.

Most of what I read is 6 feet but here it looks like it is still 3 feet.
