I have a very close friend who’s a researcher studying public health at a major NGO, and he told me that this was THE week to practice as much social distancing as possible, even if you don’t have to go to work.
I asked him to explain why. Sharing his answers w/ permission (1/x)

And then he sent me this link, which I found SUPER helpful and I am practicing like crazy right now (5/x) https://medium.com/@ariadnelabs/social-distancing-this-is-not-a-snow-day-ac21d7fa78b4">https://medium.com/@ariadnel...
But eventually we can’t do this forever. So, friend, when can we start trying to socialize? (6/x)

Incidentally, this is the friend who’s been texting our group chat organizing game nights and calling during brunch, so he’s a lifesaver in more ways than one (10/x)

. @GarrettHaake posed a super good question in a response, and I asked about that: (13/x)
(14/x) Apparently this thread is blowing up, so he& #39;s urging everyone to read this article from Harvard University& #39;s Asaf Bitton that goes even more in depth than these screenshots can.
I& #39;m gonna keep dropping this in here at various points too. https://medium.com/@ariadnelabs/social-distancing-this-is-not-a-snow-day-ac21d7fa78b4">https://medium.com/@ariadnel...

TL; DR: This is not COVID-cation! Practice social distancing, stay connected with people, and have a legitimate reason to hate brunch forever.

Uh, good morning, all you new people who picked up this thread! In addition to Dr. Bitton& #39;s article above, this collection of articles is great for further reading and understanding of what the heck is going on and what to do in the upcoming few weeks:

Also this, which illustrates how social distancing versus insane forced Hubei Province-style quarantines work. TLDR, it& #39;s easier to fight the spread of coronavirus by NOT PARTYING AND STAYING HOME than it is for a government to shut down your borders. https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/2020/world/corona-simulator/">https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/...
Also getting a lot of good points that social distancing is gonna be hard to pull off for people whose bosses aren& #39;t letting them work from home, have critical job functions, or simply can& #39;t afford to do so. It& #39;s a horrible problem that needs to be resolved! And it& #39;s also...
...a good reason for people who *can* afford to do so, to *actually commit* to doing so. Don& #39;t be a dick and put other people at risk just because you can afford to get better.
