Social distancing matters. Here is how to do it and how it can help curb the COVID-19 pandemic.
RELATED: How to properly wash your hands
Coronavirus has the word on edge. The outbreak is now a global pandemic, and seven weeks after the first U.S. case was announced outside Seattle, the number of people in the U.S. now known to be infected with the new strain has surpassed 1,000, with 38 dead. And the numbers keep climbing.
Coast to coast, large public gatherings and major events have been canceled. Employees have been told to work from home, universities have moved all classes online and elementary schools have closed for sanitizing. The stock market has seen meteoric crashes. Declarations of emergency are being proclaimed, and New York has deployed the National Guard to the hard-hit city of New Rochelle, north of New York City.

As a guy with Aspergers who is finally appreciating close contact, this hurts. But oh well I suppose.

Nice
had a crippling anxiety of intimacy for my entire life that disappeared over the summer and now it’s being mandated that we avoid each other 💀 feels good
Same lol, I’ve been social distancing people ever since I can remember so this will be easy.
Events and large gathering are being cancelled to limit exposure…have you been to a grocery store lately? 🤔

Dude I swear I always try to stay 5ft away from people but they always get within 1…
Lol, I’ve been social distancing people ever since I can remember so this will be easy.
Only they are wrong with 3ft. CDC says 6ft. 3ft is our norm for USA

Horticultureandhomes : 3 feet might be the social norm in the U.S. but you’d be shocked how many people routinely disrespect personal space.

You should actually stay 6 feet away not 3 feet. That’s how it spreading STAY 6 FEET APART
Some people still don’t practice social distancing; it happens at grocery stores: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-YkYTA0o39Q
