The term social distancing came into most folk’s vocabulary recently. It’s the practice of maintaining a physical distance between people in public places, especially during the outbreak of a contagious disease. With less exposure to other people, it reduces exposure and the possibility of the disease spreading more rapidly.
As folks hunker down in their own dwellings as much as they can, a contagious disease’s spread is typically greatly reduced. Below are some quotations on the topic of social distancing.
