they really expect people to do that?
No. They haven't a clue. There is no plan that actually works. We should have had a much stricter lockdown to get the rate of infection much lower and not relaxed it until we have a tack and trace capability. But instead we have "use your common sense" so the next wave of infections becomes not the governments fault.

It is getting into absurd territory (once again, after Brexit) and this time it is even more dangerous for us all. Ignorance now literally kills.
Some mistakes were made, unfortunately, by many governments (not checking care homes much more, lack of PPE, health system still being overwhelmed) and others don't have full track/tracing either (NL/Sweden) and are OK with more "loose" but still controlled lock-downs/reopens.
In that sense there are few "perfect" country responses, some of it also depends on country values (maybe you are ok with a little more risk for more freedom/assess the flatten the curve differently/are more worried about deaths due to lockdown etc..)
This lot though really gives the impression of "we are not even trying" whatevs...

Facing a icky window, balancing in a regularly rocking left/right carriage on narrow seats, they really expect people to do that?
They can lead by example them...perhaps JRM would like to demonstrate, he has experience with unusual seating positions on benches :)
