‘Social distancing’ is actually “physical” and it’s a
system. It operates in the cohesion of larger social cohort. It’s not
discriminating, rather integrating the affected person, or say following
certain norms of isolation, that helps in maintaining the social fabric.
Reducing physical contact optimizes maintenance of social systems in long run.
Distancing in an affected social set up reduces morbidity through suppression of
transmission of certain killer elements like virus etc. However, the members of
the given society or social system remain connected with each other and share
many common social elements.
Social distancing, in other hand, may lead to loneliness,
depression, reduced productivity and other benefits associated with human
interactions.
WHO favours the term “Physical Distancing” as opposed to “Social
Distancing”.
