I realised I can easily enforce a safe distance by simply not showering before I head to the stores.
Works a treat.

Just tuck a pants leg into your sock.
Same thing
If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.

In West Virginia it's eating "ramps" that does the trick

EAting onion or blue cheese also works.

My wife has declared that she will eat five cloves of raw garlic before leaving the house.
I'm in the doghouse because I replied by searching for an on-line shop that stocks military-grade gas masks.

I looked at the local governments 'Social Distancing' bulletin...
It looks like I have to start getting out more...
If you can't laugh at yourself - ask me and I will do it for you.

Reminds me on that one Discworld novel. It was about grandma's goose fat, which properly repelled all infectants via this very mechanism.

Not showering not only keeps people away, also prevents water pollution and helps keep rivers clean. It is also important to eat garlic, smoke, drink alcohol and lack of oral hygiene. But those resources are circumstantial, not effective in case of nasal congestion, and most importantly: not prevent online communication.
If you really want a hermit top isolation level, simply show your PreSmartPhoneEraStupidNokiaPohne when people want whatsapp communication with you. That's totally effective: people not only discard you for not being able to use whatsapp: you are discarded because nobody wants any kind of relationship with a poor guy not even own a smartphone.
PD. It also helps a lot to speak and write very bad English 
Sorry for my bad English

precious bandwidth?
how slow is your link?
I actually downgraded from 1G to 500M and it's still plenty available with 4 active users (netflix, streaming sports, music...).
actually I reckon the 1G was a ripoff, speed test showed pretty much same actual throughputs before and after to o'seas destinations regardless [me and other 3 users] active or quiet.

Holy sunshine. I habe a 20M and I'm LUCKY - it actually goes to 20M instead of 8 like in most places.
Anyway I don't use much bandwidth when working, mostly I need the VPN on for some sw licenses.

I've got a 20 that goes to 6 on a good day, yet it's still fast enough for most streaming and series downloads.

I have a feeling "...(nevermind)" not only has considerable backstory of an unpleasant nature, but that you and your wife are taking care of the poor girl. If so, good on you. It's sometimes hard to raise other people's kids.

Well the quick version is the mother is a tyrant verbally abusing her daughter(s) and husband constantly. The husband does not protect the daughters and supports his wife's abuse against them to protect himself from more abuse from his wife. The younger daughter destroys my son's girlfriend's stuff if she doesn't keep it at our house for safety. It's a mess but she doesn't want to cause any trouble for them so she just stays with us and endures the occasional abusive phone calls from her mother.

Nice "Going Postal" reference. I liked the cat and Stanley the best.
