No need to shut down the country to practice social distancing, though.
- missedthecue 6y agoYou'd restrict an enormous amount of commerce.
- spaetzleesser 6y agoI don’t think so. People are very good at adapting once confronted with a situation.
- whateveracct 6y agoWearing a mask in public doesn't restrict any commerce Social distancing restricts some, but even without any legal enforcement I wouldn't be surprised if people just don't want to be close to others like before anymore. And for perfectly acceptable reasons!
- jefft255 6y agoI, for one, wouldn't support practicing social distancing every year to prevent the flu season. And this always has economic effects as well.
- michaelbuckbee 6y agoWell there's negative economic effects to the flu in any case. There's a variety of relatively low cost preventable steps that would just help in general if people followed them (may or may not fit your definition of social distancing). I'm thinking of stuff like - Contactless payments - Head nods instead of handshakes for greetings - More remote work options (where applicable). - Mask wearing on public transit or by people with lots of personal contact
