You would never survive cutting your head off, I’m sure Uk will survive... for a bit anyways
We now know that it wasn't an artery we severed which might have caused us all to bleed to death.
A nose bleed?
41,000 people dying isn’t a nose bleed.

Social distancing is the key to minimising the virus death toll. It is impossible to work normally and keep 2 metres. So we shut all but food buying. It has undoubtedly saved lives.
You think 41,000 deaths is acceptable. What figure would you find unacceptable the?
It's everywhere that 2 meters was a randomly plucked length with little back-up to show that 1m would be worse and 3m better. We've all sucked it in though - personally I'm sick to death of shop assistants swerving maniacally if they think I'm too close to the tills like I'm spitting the black death on them.

In other words gromit, "I'm all right jack"
2 metres wasn’t entirely random. It is the minimum distance from which you cannot physically touch someone. A sneeze can travel up to 8 metres, but 8m social distancing isn’t practical.
You are sick to death (groan) of shop assistants disapproving when you break the 2 metre advice. I suspect they are even more sick of people who cannot follow a very simple rule.
OK SparklyKid,

If social distancing isn’t the key to minimising deaths, what is ?
Well if your in your own little cocoon every day, you don't have to worry about other folks nose bleed, so don't worry about the head being cut off.
I am NOT breaking the rule, I'm well aware and practise it, they start doing it from about 4 meters away, it gets on my wick.
Just to add (for the 94th time) it is not a rule. It is advice.
Make sure your blade is very sharp before you start TTT - less pain.
Wow. I think if a terrorist cult had killed over 40,000 people (and rising) in the UK in the last three months, TTT would not be calling it a "nose bleed".

The above is what I see when I open the link
Perhaps there should be a Public Inquiry to find out the answer?

whereas they are far more likely to infect me
NJ, legislation says businesses in Wales must take all reasonable measures to ensure there's a two-metre gap between folk from different households within their premises or waiting to enter.
2 m or 6 ' is based on science fact

the surface area of any sphere is 4pi r squ - I metre - 12 sq m
radius 2 m - - 48 sq m

so by doubling the radius you quarter 48/12 the stuff raching the perimeter - so at 2m each sq m receives 2% of naughty stuff

and a 98% miss rate ( 100-2) is deemed by those who rule us to be acceptiable

but you really always knew that didnt you?

2 m works out ( above ) as the safe distance for - electric charge, magnetic field, X ray - (*)
radsio waves in aircraft - wifi and so on and so on

(*) in fact anything obeying an inverse square law (whose flux obeys an inverse square law) - but you really knew that as well huh
Funnily enough I do know how to work out the SA of a sphere and I think your argument would have had 8 times the impact had you used volume instead. That doesn't make it a scientific reason to pick 2m though, in reality a covid sneeze (and more than 2% of it) would probably travel way more than that - but I don't see people sneezing left right and centre everywhere I go. Other parts of Europe picked 1.5 didn't they? We might reduce to 1m mightn't we - and why, are people sneezing with less force now?
Is the trajectory formed by particles from a sneeze not more of a cone rather than a (hemi-)sphere?
More of a speech bubble shape, depending on wind conditions.
