Am I missing something? Isn't the current guidance here social distancing?
From .gov it doesn't look like that precludes leaving the home.

Current gov guidance is behind what we should be doing to really slow it down.
We should be in full lockdown, but as we're not we should be voluntarily doing what we can to slow it down... self-isolation is better than merely social distancing.
The way I view it: every individual needs to count the number of people that they come within 2m of within a day at fewer than 5.
So no... you're not missing gov guidance, but if you look at the numbers, scientist and Dr warnings of what's to come... we all should go further than the guidance to help it have a bigger impact on slowing things down.

What's the work behind this? Obviously the fewer opportunities for transmission the better, but this seems oddly specific. Having said that, for some people, quantifying it like this would probably be very helpful.

I've been trying to strike a balance for our household wellbeing.
Since my last supermarket run I don't think we have been within 2m of anyone. Although there may have been a couple of borderlines.
As an eg we went to Southend beach. Drove all the way down until we saw the general numbers thin right out. Family stayed in the car while I went to look at the beach. Only a handful of dog walkers, so we went and had a picnic. Probably no more than 20m near anyone 99% of the time, about 50-100m more often than not.
