Watching local and national news, I feel like we will be stuck in "social distancing" mode for a generation.
My suggestion is to find a new phrase that won't criminalize socializing with others.
How about "social awareness" instead of distancing. Maybe you all could come up with a good phrase for the media and gov to use
I see fist bumps and elbow bumps in the future. "SocialBumps?" Dominick
Just when the man-hug becomes socially acceptable this happens.
I don't know. Young people have not bought into all the hiding and drama that we have. For their sake, I hope that's the right attitude.
All you millennials
Just don't understand
Get your head and your feet
Up out of the sand
Shelter-in-place
Is not just a gimmick
We have to control
The global pandemic

I love you Ted but I was practicing social distancing before it was cool. I'm perfectly happy not to have anyone n six feet of my personal space- prolly due to the robbery / kidnapping. Not kidding. If I can hit you with this tire iron, you need to back up your grocery cart, lady! :)
All the pretty women are coming out to exercise,,,,, :o some say hi and sometimes they will stop 8ft away when I'm fishing and ask are you catching anything,,,,,,, ;) social distancing terrible,,,,,,, :D but it keeps me out of trouble,,,,,,,,, ;D
I'm old... I remember when being socially aware meant being careful not to drink too much and throw up on your date.

Depends on the date.
How do you make things like elevators, bars, fishing boat cabins, wedding dances, and Superbowl parades work with social-distancing?
I have a sneeze that is like a hurricane blast. Can't wait to see the nasty looks when we go public again.
Makes it easier to carry a fishing rod around with that much space. And spot-mugging is less justifiable.
What about sports?

Stadiums would have staggered seating and your ticket price will include paying for 2 empty seats adjacent to you. All scholastic sports will be discontinued except maybe ping pong, and tennis.
