Humans used to believe that we were the most intelligent species on Earth.
But this pandemic has clearly demonstrated that this is not the case.
I mean, some dead chickens are better at social distancing than we are.

With the circuit breaker measures in place, residents here are not allowed to see their friends and even family if they’re staying in different houses.
And even though being forced to be at home all day where you can binge Netflix shows until your brain melts sounded good before the circuit breaker, humans are social animals and we just can’t stand to be away from each other.
So, if there’s an opportunity to hang out with our friends while waiting for our takeaway Mee Goreng, then we’ll damn well do so.
People Allegedly Gathered Blatantly along Robertson Quay While Waiting for Takeouts
A few groups of people allegedly gathered in River Valley while waiting for the takeaway meals they ordered.
According to a Goody Feed reader, multiple groups of people were seen along Robertson Quay having a beer and socialising with their friends while waiting for their meals.
Exercising is allowed, of course, but being so close and hanging out with fellow cyclists is not.
You see, even the dog knows that it should keep a safe distance.
In fact, so many people were in close proximity together you’d think they were celebrating the end of the circuit breaker or something:

It almost looks like their “takeout” was just an excuse to have a little outdoor party with their friends.
I’m surprised there was no meat being barbecued on a grill.
Few Safe Distancing Ambassadors In Area
According to our reader, hardly any safe distancing ambassadors were seen in the area, which may have prompted people to stay out a little longer with their friends.
If we’ve learned anything during the circuit breaker, it’s that some people will only follow the rules after getting caught.
The witness has reported the incident but is unsure if they’ll be punished:

“I’m not sure how long they will take to react to this.”
Forgetting to put on a mask is one thing, but blatantly hanging out in large groups during the circuit breaker is another.
At the very least, these rule-breakers deserve a slap on the wrist.
Only Two Weeks To Go
If the circuit breaker is extended until 2055, it’ll suck, but at least we’ll be able to look at our grandchildren and say “in my day, people could go out to eat at coffee shops and bubble tea was not illegal” and watch their eyes widen with shock.
But if it really does end in two weeks like it’s scheduled to, then why are we being so impatient?

If we could abide by the rules for over a month, surely we can do it for a couple more weeks?
In the meantime, reject your social impulses, and keep binging Netflix in your bed like a good citizen.
