I’m happy to drink at home but hope this is not the future. As a beer drinker I find it depressing.

The future is here. Less in-person services, automation, distance between customers and so on.

I"m getting there. My clothes are a little tighter after 9 weeks without real exercise. And I’m ABsolutely livid the government has announced everything will be open again in 2 weeks time, including outdoor sports, except gyms, saunas and indoor sports! I can’t go swimming, steaming and to the gym until sometime in Sept! 
A restaurant in Netherlands is testing this new dining out concept: glass cabins. Servers wear full face visors and gloves. More on this story here.

I could totally go with the private little room/corner/tent feel at restaurants. I actually really appreciate the traditional Japanese restaurants that offered the seated private rooms or booths for smaller parties.
But I do have to add that sigh - I don’t mean to be snarky, but I sympathize with that picture of all the elderly and the pensioners who seem to have no concept of social distancing. Each time I’ve been to the market, I’ve had an older person really within 1-2 feet of me. I won’t yell at them but I do sometimes look at them as if “if you’re can count my eyelashes you’re too close!”. They just look at you and don’t seem to have any awareness at all.

Speaking for myself, I’m over 65 and am very aware of social distancing, and always practice it. But yes, you’re right, many people have no clue, and will stand in a line, like, 2 feet behind me – completely ignoring the obvious 6’ tape marks on the sidewalk. However, although I don’t yell at anyone, I always politely but firmly ask them to please back away to at least six feet. When this first happened, I tried just glaring, but it has no effect whatsoever with someone who’s that clueless to begin with. In my experience, the people who do this are not seniors, but generally younger. Then again, I live in Las Vegas, where people tend to be oppositional to rules and authority.
Clueless is clueless regardless of age - for sure. The one trend I see with a lot of young people here is not the social distancing, but the inability for them not shop in groups. It’s clear as well that they are not family members, but many stores are now even asking that you don’t take the whole family shopping. Limit it to two if needed. I continue to see ‘gangs’ of millenials in groups of 3-5 shopping in all the stores I’ve been to, which of course still jams up aisles and other lines. As a pack, they keep their distance from others in the check-out line, but kind of moot if you have 5 people hanging out to pay.

I was looking for a sprouted wheat bread that I liked around 1990, and found a book about it. But I had no idea that there were so many older editions.
So much this. I’ve noticed that on the bus, people usually try to space themselves out as much as possible. Usually. There’s always at least one idiot who plops down right in front of or behind me, despite there being plenty of seats further away. Today the idiot also yanked her mask down around her neck and started yelling into her phone. I gave her a good hard scowl and gestured to my own mask, and she covered up. And then I moved, 'cause she certainly wasn’t going to.
I’m not in a high risk group, and I got stressed out. I can’t imagine how anxious that behavior must make the more vulnerable among us.

No more. Maybe only at home with immediate family.
One of the reasons I don’t eat out but I’m only the 0.0001% of the population.
No problem at all in Asia and everyone complies. I hope this new normal remains indefinitely. You have probably heard on the news the virus could never be totally eradicated.
Go one step further and make the screens opaque/frosted.

Want a taste of tear gas? Tear gas flavoured ice cream is selling in Hong Kong. (Story)
Excerps:
He tried different ingredients, including wasabi and mustard, in an effort to replicate the taste of tear gas. He said black pepper came closest to tear gas with its throat-irritating effects.
“We roast and then grind whole black peppercorns and make them into gelato, the Italian style,” the 31-year-old owner said.
"It’s a bit hot, but we emphasise its aftertaste, which is a sensation of irritation in the throat. It just feels like breathing in tear gas."

I read a scientific study from University of Hong Kong that took a look at countries doing well from a psychological perspective that posited that citizen behaviors are more important than government actions. People in the places doing well are culturally predisposed to do as they are told. Model citizens.
