No, it's the feeling you get if your coffee's been "per-screened" by a civet cat.*
* in Viet Nam they tend to weasel out of this scenario.
Elsewhere in this thread[^] there's a mention of crapacinno that doesn't take into account the true origin of said term.

During quarantine a neighbor saw a man sitting on his front step with a pair of binoculars looking longingly across the street at his neighbor.
The neighbor advised the man in a friendly voice, "I am sure you miss her but remember, social distancing means you need to stay six feet away from her."
"That should not be a problem," the man replied. "That's 94 feet closer than the restraining order says."

because dating is now illegal.
It is also illegal to have sleepovers. My kid just had a friend spend the night recently but luckily it isn't illegal here.
Any of you do onsite support? I guess you can't do that anymore because you can't have more than 2 people indoors if they are not from the same household. Are any of you trying to sell a house? I guess you can't do that either now, right?
Is this law impacting you much or are people just ignoring it?

Most people are following the guidance, some more strictly than others. We visited some of our family yesterday, but did enter the house (by mistake of course).

Sounds like a confession.

I am selling my house and moving. I wanted to look at a home but they won't show until this is over. Whenever that it. So, they lost a sale. Luckily for me, we had one showing and then got an offer. In the US it was never illegal to show a home for sale but when I saw this new law in the UK I wondered how it affected things like that.

There are allowances for a number of situations, but it really boils down to people using common sense. Sadly common sense is pretty rare these days.

Yes, and obvious. But that is a political discussion and I didn't want to go there. I'm not even sure how much of a political discussion you could even have beyond "It's stupid" but I suppose there are those that believe it to be a good law.
But I wonder how much it affects people in their everyday lives or if they just ignore it. I do find it interesting that the mantra used to be "flatten the curve" but then when we did that many places tightened up restrictions instead of loosening them.

One wouldn't require "crazy stupid laws" if people were capable of using their brains. If people used their brains for actual thinking there would be need for very few laws, indeed!
But generally, people don't use their brains.
So they need laws to replace their lack of common sense.
There is one problem, of course, with this. An assumption that lawmakers would use there brains and have common sense. Instead, they have replaced it with political ambition and pandering.
And so, here we are.

You're right, sort of. One of the people calling for more common sense (here on CP) also claims that not wearing a mask is the same as murder.
So, common sense is subjective and doesn't really mean much.

exactly. more or less the same reason why here in the States at least we have "Caution: coffee is extremely hot" labels.

While all of these rules are questionable*, we have enough members of our family in the "at risk" groups, to think that maybe they are not that unreasonable.
*It's impossible to say for certain whether following the science was a good or bad thing. And even with hindsight it will be impossible since we cannot compare it to the alternative.

just so you know, "at risk" groups for covid are the same exact "at risk" groups for most strains of flu. The sames strains of flu that kill these "at risk" people every year.
the media has you thinking covid is special, it really isn't. and now we are finding out that the mortality rate for covid is coming back inline with a bad flu season, just like Johns Hopkins originally said at the beginning of all of this.
I am an insulin dependent diabetic - at high risk. I stand the same chance of dying from the flu as I do with covid 19.
I don't shrug it off, I just don't think crazy and stupid laws are the answer.

Rather than reading fake news I listen to what the scientists say; and they are still not agreed on what we should do. So until they are I think the government is taking a reasonably sensible course.

and they never will be. their answers are dictated by the political narrative and you can't convince me otherwise.
cheers, and good luck. Hope your family remains safe and well.

I am not trying to convince you, just giving my views.
And I trust that you are keeping safe also. My eldest son is type 1 diabetic (for the last 40 years) so I have a little experience of the condition.
