Until a few weeks ago, Social Connecting via a smorgasbord of recently introduced 'electronic communications' made interacting with others a phenomenon unlike anything else in human history.
Suddenly, we pretty much rely on that electronic communication to be our life-line to the rest of humanity. The reason - Social Distancing. As odd as that sounds in today's world, here we all are trying our best to keep a safe distance from everyone else, even our friends and family.
But what caused it?
Well, actually 'panic' started it, but only after word got out that a new killer virus had suddenly materialized in China. People started dying at an alarming rate and others were being infected by this strange new threat - a Coronavirus. It was eventually dubbed COVID-19.
Projections of multi-millions of people would get it, and thousands, even hundreds of thousands would die from it, we were told.
How to protect yourself??? Washing hands thoroughly was quickly advised and encouraged, but the numbers of people getting the disease continued to rise at an alarming rate.
What other protection do we have??? Social Distancing - make people stay home and away from each other. And even when people are together, limit the size of the group and the distance they should remain from each other...
Whoa!!! Is that even possible?
Well yes. And in fact it may be the only option. Early reports indicate that the number of people getting the virus and dying from it seems to be ebbing slightly. And with that little bit of encouragement, our president is pushing for dropping our guard and going back to work and to normal activities.
Idiot!!!
