Woman goes shopping in giant bubble amid coronavirus pandemic

Amid these uncertain times, so many of us are having to adapt our daily lives and completely change the way we carry out once simple tasks.

Meeting up with a group of friends now requires cell phone apps and decent wifi. Going for nice walk must be done infrequently and you must keep two meters away from people from other households at all times. And trying to find bread at the grocery store is like trying to find Waldo at Woodstock.

Yes, as the statistics continue to climb, more and more people are starting to realize the importance of social distancing. But one woman in the UK has taken social distancing to a whole new level when she went shopping for groceries inside a giant plastic bubble.

Check out the moment she left shoppers absolutely bemused in the video below:

According to The Sun, the woman left members of the public open-mouthed when she decided to visit her local store inside a zorb ball - a contraption used in activities like Zorb Football and Water Zorbing.

The footage, which was posted online on Tuesday, shows the woman rolling her way around her local Morrisons store in Kent, UK.

With the assistance of a "carer", she can be seen selecting items from the shelves and placing them in her basket. When one on-looker asked about her unique technique, the "carer" says: "She’s self-isolating. She’s really germaphobic."

The woman, who appears to be named Tracey, can also be seen having her contraption repeatedly wiped down with antiseptic wipes - leading many to believe this is simply a stunt that has been done to put smiles on faces.

In fact, several other shoppers can be seen in hysterics as Tracy rolls past them into the store.

Tracy can be seen successfully managing to navigate the meat and fish aisle, however, she does have a few issues when trying to pick up some canned goods.

I certainly cannot guarantee that the zorb ball added any extra protection, but I can say that it definitely made me smile when I needed it.

We are urging all of our readers to adhere to the advice from their respective governments and medical bodies, and practice social distancing and self-isolation where required. Together, we will beat this...
