Understanding Social Distancing
While many people are taking social distancing seriously, there are plenty who are not.
Iâm hearing regular stories of packed public parks, too many people on trails, lots of people crowded into Home Depot picking up home repair things, and strange parties that I can only rationalize as civil disobedience gone awry.
While itâs tough to stay home all the time, wear a mask in public, and keep a real physical distance from anyone outside your home, itâs really important right now. A large number of people on the front lines are literally risking their lives and working incredibly hard to get ahead of the health impacts of this disease. Simultaneously, a correspondingly large number of people, both in government, private industry, and volunteers, are working behind the scenes to get to whatever âthe new normalâ is going to be in our society.
Please be safe and healthy. Take social distancing seriously.
