Social distancing gave way to social nudity in Russia when a group of restaurant workers shed their clothes to show that the country's lockdown has left them desperate for a paycheck, reports the Associatio­n of Mature American Citizens [AMAC]. The owner of the Funky Food restaurant, located in the town of Kazan, sanctioned the discretely photograph­ed demonstrat­ion by 20 of his employees. He summed it up with the pithy statement:

“We are naked because we are left with nothing.” In view of the COVID crisis, the workers who took part in their photo, which was posted on social media, wore face masks. And, they sported “carefully positioned plates, cups, saucepans, bottles, bar stools and napkin holders,” according to the Reuters news agency.

They tell us not to touch our faces when we're out and about to avoid the coronaviru­s pandemic, but it's easier said than done, says the Associatio­n of Mature American Citizens [AMAC].

It's an instinctiv­e reflex for most of us. And that's what sparked 15-year-old Max Melia of Bristol, England to invent a wristwatch, which he calls the Vybpro, that vibrates and buzzes when you move your hand toward your face. Both of his parents tested positive for COVID-19 and that was his motivation for his gadget.

He's now in the process of raising funds in order to go into production and he is optimistic that the Vybpro can be available in the fall at an estimated price of $111.
