'Social distancing,' also called physical distancing, is the best way to slow the spread of coronavirus and save lives in your community. It means leaving home as little as possible, keeping six feet away from others in public, and generally just limiting in-person social contact. But the rules of social distancing can be sort of blurry and confusing. Can you have close friends over for dinner? Can you visit relatives? Can you get on a plane if you’re wearing a face mask? What is life even supposed to look like without social contact?

We spoke with University of Pennsylvania social epidemiologist Carolyn Cannuscio about how we should think about social distancing, and what measures we should each be taking to do our part in slowing down the pandemic. Practicing social distancing properly isn’t easy, she says. But it’s also the best thing that each of us can do right now in the service of public health.

Social distancing of 6 feet will not prevent overloading the health care system.

Check your state https://covidactnow.org and the point of no return of overwhelming the system.

I think of it as smelling a smoker's smoke. Sometimes you can smell their smoke from 10+ feet away. and farther if you are down wind. That smoke is what they exhaled.

When they are done and come inside or such you can smell it coming off them.

Just trade the smoke for the virus, 6 feet is not enough.
