Things you really SHOULDN’T do during the COVID-19 lockdown

1. Lick doorknobs in public places
2. Sample the grapes and other produce at the supermarket
3. Call up your escort service to send over a date
4. Suck on your money before spending it
5. Pick up random stuff from the sidewalk (coins, trash, discarded masks, etc.)
6. Protest at your state capital with a bunch of other people.
7. Dip your hand in water, then walk near to coworkers and pretend to sneeze and pretend to cover your nose and mouth while flinging your hand as you sneeze, sprinkling them with said water.
8. Walk past a roll of toilet paper that’s for sale
9. After using a face mask, turn it over and use the other side.
10. Flick your boogers at people.
11. Walk around in public wearing a mark and gloves. And nothing else.
12. Walk up to a beautiful woman, a stranger you don’t know, and kiss her.
13. Use only one side of toilet paper.
