UK couples living apart banned from sex under new COVID-19 rule

couples living apart in the UK aren’t allowed to have sex — and are forbidden from meeting up anywhere but outside — under a strict new coronavirus measure.

The law orders romantic partners who haven’t been shacking up or self-isolating to not touch each other, government officials told the Guardian on Friday.

“The purpose of the measures we’ve put in place is to break the chain of transmission between households, and the scientific advice is that there is greatest transmission of the virus indoors,” a spokesman for UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson told the paper.

But some observers were hot and bothered by the sex ban.

“Couples cant have sex yet pubs are still open? The UK is making such a sh-t show of this pandemic,” one critic bashed on Twitter.

The rule applies to couples in so-called Tier 2 areas, where residents face a high risk of contracting the virus, the paper reported. It comes as major UK cities, including London and Essex, are set to become Tier 2 areas at midnight Friday.

“People may mewl and bleat, but in they end they care not who their Shepard is as long as they are well fed....”

...and can watch brutal, self-sacrificial movies like Braveheart, while having popcorn and brewskies.

Who could have guessed that the Communist Revolution would arrive disguised as the common cold?

It has, but the incubation period has been obvious for decades. It should have been “treated” far, far sooner. It’s difficult to say at this point whether it will be fatal or not.

William Wallace would not recognize how far Scotland has fallen! Unfortunately, the land of my ancestors has wussified over the centuries. The government of Scotland is led by someone very fishy, Nicola Sturgeon, of the socialist, pro-Euroweenie Scottish National Party.

So they admit the obvious that indoors maximises transmission. So lock em up again. And Johnson is supppsedly a conservative
