Gotta love this meme of The Beatles social distancing at Abbey Road. If the Fab Four can do it, we all can, right?
Jim Morrison would have said these are "strange days".

Meanwhile, Cardiff's Julie Robinson told Topics that she and her sister had been "sharing our favourite coronavirus songs".
The Bee Gees' Stayin' Alive and Dionne Warwick's Walk On By made the list.
"Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again [by The Angels] is a sad reminder of what this virus is capable of. All we can say is, we hope so, we definitely hope so," Julie said.
Speers Point Public School teachers have also turned to music. They posted on Facebook a video message to students to the sounds of Celine Dion's song All By Myself.
"Kids, we miss you, stay safe," said a message on a school noticeboard at the end of the video.
Bobby McFerrin's Don't Worry Be Happy may well soothe some troubled souls at a time like this.
The Knack's My Sharona has, of course, become My Corona.
The lyrics of Cold Chisel's Star Hotel came to mind for Herald journalist Ian Kirkwood: "Those in charge, getting crazier; Job queues grow through the land."
Lonesome Cowboy
Glen Fredericks, of Adamstown Heights, said seeing Mitch Capone dressed as Elvis in Topics on Friday made him think that there's an Elvis song for every occasion and "plenty that describe the feelings of self-isolation".
He listed: I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry; Are You Lonesome Tonight; Just Call Me Lonesome; Lonely Man; Lonesome Cowboy; It's No Fun Being Lonely; and Walk That Lonesome Road.
