This new terminology - social distancing - what is the fuss? I see a lot of people - complaining that large venues have been banned in light of the COVID19 pandemic. The President - Governors - Mayors - all mandating - social distancing. The outcries - unbelievable - conspiracy - government regulating our lives - our freedoms - unfair! That is what my children would often say as mom and dad would lay down the rules - rules to protect them - keep them safe - healthy. They were only children - did not have the knowledge - experience to know what we knew - thus the cry - unfair! I find it unbelievable that in this day and age - knowledge readily available - adults - those who think they are adults - crying unfair. I am no stranger to large events - most recently standing with 200,000 strangers - waiting to see Pope Francis at the Vatican. Did I really want to be in that crowd - did I really want to find the right spot - get close to the Pope - did I really think that the other 199,999 people added to my experience - No! My preference - one on one - nobody else around. When we attend sporting events - how many people do we interact with - maybe a handful - why the need for a crowd? Bottom line - the need to feel involved. If large groups were allowed right now - the spread of COVID19 would be monumental - the affect - mass deaths - all because we had to be there - to be a faceless number in the crowd. When those deaths - many unnecessary - added up - we should stand trial as being involved in one giant mass murder. Sure - you didn't get sick - but you got the virus - unknown - no symptoms - carried it home to your children - spouse - parents - to the neighbor recovering from surgery - immune system completely comprised - and you brought the virus to them even though they were observing social distancing. In spite of their efforts - your selfishness - caused their premature death.
Although you may miss the game - party - gathering - you will miss your mother more. Think about it - this will pass - in a few months hopefully - all may get back to normal. Until then - follow the guidelines - practice social distancing - stay safe - not just for yourself - for everyone else around you.
