Oh god. I've only got one fridge. This whole social distancing measure is giving me status anxiety.
And then there's the challenge of carrying the bed with you when you go outside to check you're not too close. I could probably manage a single, but that's not big enough is it.. https://t.co/n3AR1SH5LH

Man who hides in fridges uses fridges as measurement. Makes sense. https://t.co/JcHYAwzlIg

Just when you think the government's communications on coronavirus couldn't get any worse, they start measuring things in benches.

There seems to be some confusion about this, so just to clarify, 3 fridges is the same as:

-146 Russia reports

People are saying Boris is dumb for measuring distance like this but frankly you shouldn't judge a man until you've walked 2,414 fridges in his shoes https://t.co/bFfpr3dS1a

Basically what everyone was saying, was this.
Are you actually kidding. These are all quite different sizes. It would have been clearer to say “picture two one metre rulers”.

But the best and most devastating response was surely this one.
