As the coronavirus spreads from individual to individual via saliva and bodily fluids, constantly keeping a safe distance of at least 1 metre apart from the next warm body might actually save you a trip to the hospital and 14 days in isolation under quarantine.

This is called "social distancing".

Instead of keeling over and calling it a day, they have shown their steadfastness in fighting Covid-19 while living their lives as they would have without the virus.

Here are 10 photos from Thailand that show how the locals there deal.
