LEON COUNTY, Fla. – Federal health officials are recommending that everyone keeps 6 feet of space between themselves and others, but that length can sometimes be hard to estimate.
That’s why leaders in Leon County came up with a standard that every Floridian can memorize: imagine the space as one large alligator.
The county’s social media post showing a helpful illustration of a sizable, angry-looking reptile between two faceless figures has garnered thousands of shares and hundreds of reactions. “Walking with an alligator would help create social distancing.
That’s for sure,” one commenter joked. Another quipped that he’d rather be the person on the gator’s tail end while one woman dubbed it social distancing, Florida-style.
