It's so much easier to avoid all contact
I suppose it is but why should we? Even allowing for the current debacle with DC and his interpretation of "the rules", we have been given confirmation that it is perfectly acceptable to meet up with another person, in an open space, provided that you keep the mandatory 2 metre distance. So what's the problem with people meeting up, in a park or going for a walk whilst adhering to the advice above?
Personally, and I'm fairly sure I'm not alone here, as a cogniscent adult I can express my pleasure at seeing my friends without having to throw my arms around them or kiss them. If you can't, then yes, you're best sticking to Skype or the phone.
