Social Distancing - One way to get it done.



Not all heroes wear capes. Some wear huge circles of cardboard on suspenders.

A man in such an outfit has been seen in Rome, where the protective circle is a physical barrier method to enforce social distancing. Italy has experienced one of the highest concentrations of cases of COVID-19 coronavirus in the world so far, and the government has shut down all businesses and gathering places where customers can’t be guaranteed a full meter of buffer space.

This can be done as education instead of sarcasm. Wish it could be extended to vehicles on the highway for demonstrating proper following distance.

This guy did a better job. I just would have added "caution" tape to the edges.
