At least a socially distant adulterous relationship is unlikely to result in consequences. I don't believe that STDs or pregnancy can be transmitted at such a distance.
I knew someone who reckoned they once caught crabs in their eyebrow hair from a well-thrown thong.
If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

That sounds like an explanation they had to come up with in a hurry!
Those who already do the Zoe study will look now this, but I thought this was an interesting summary of how the key COVID symptoms have changed over time, and how they vary depending on vaccination status: https://covid.joinzoe.com/post/new-top-5-covid-symptoms

Interesting, @LG_. Thanks... though hay fever gives me a headache, runny nose and the sneezes, so I'm not sure how I'd distinguish it from Covid now I'm double vaccinated.
Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.
Quite! Only by doing a test, I guess, and if you're not coming into contact with people all that often it probably doesn't matter. We have a load of lateral flow tests sitting here as the kids have to do them routinely twice a week, so if I got any symptoms I have them to hand.

I had shingles just before Covid and got really gritty/sore/bloodshot eye(s) (even though the outbreak was on my back). I then had another attack a few months back - although it wasn't confirmed as shingles (all done via call to the Dr rather than a visit to the surgery) - same symptoms - outbreak on back (with soreness and pain) and sore/gritty/bloodshot eye(s). In both cases I was given anti-viral meds and symptoms stopped. Went to see the optician for the biennial check up earlier this month and I've got scarring on my left eye apparently. When I explained it may have been the shingles, the optician looked at me as if I was mad (no surprise there then).
Hmm, no mention of a bloodshot eye. Hubby has had the mother of all bloodshot eyes for a week now. Doctor unimpressed, but it makes my toes curl every time I catch sight of it. He refuses to wear dark specs to spare me the nausea.
Optician would be his best bet, I was like that many years ago, turned out it was Sjogrens Syndrome now got Blepharitis to go with it.

'Live with' also doesn't seem to involve anyone having to make the smallest amount of effort to limit spread apparently. I'll be sticking with the masks out of courtesy to shop staff and other people but it'll be interesting to see how many people give up on it straight away. I feel sorry for all the shelf stackers who will have the public coughing down their necks now while they try to do their jobs. No doubt this moment will be added to the long list of stupid decisions that lead to this pandemic being worse than it should have been.

@steveTu a friend of mine had shingles about 5 years ago. She was extremely ill with it and had to be hospitalized. She was absolutely covered and it also affected her left eye. I've had it too, thankfully nowhere near as bad as she did, but its extremely painful. I had it about 3 years ago and still get niggling pains across my back now and again. Take care.
