As we are now confined to home, my wife having Covid 19 symptoms and awaiting a swab result, my wife ordered some gin to be delivered by Amazon, on the recommendation of my stepdaughter who thought I may need it. The gin arrived within 24 hours but the driver would not hand it over until I provided photographic ID to confirm my age. I am 68! So we had this stand off where I held my driver's licence for him to read, refusing to let him touch it and trying to maintain the recommended 2 metres distance. Fortunately he had good eyesight and eventually the delivery was left at a distance for me to pick up after he left.

The third part of the thread is OP saying: "You are the second one". It was on InsanePeopleFacebook a while ago.

I've been eating Tide Pods for years and haven't gotten COVID-19 yet, so there must be something to it.
