- werber 6y agoI haven’t heard that phrase as much, why do you think it’s better?
- ragingrobot 6y agoNot the poster, but I agree with them. "Social" distancing says to me at least, avoid people period. Don't talk to them. Don't communicate in any way. Be asocial, if you will. "Physical" distancing is exactly what it says, keep your distance from others, and has no impact on the social aspect of daily life.
- account42 6y agoI think part of the reason for the social distancing term is that it implies there need to be less restrictions in a non-social (ie work) context, which is of course BS.
- retSava 6y agoEven if I agree "physical" is better suited for what's asked for, "social" is now the de facto recognized and used term and people seem to understand it to mean "physical" in practice. At least those that don't subscribe to various "it's a hoax"-theories.
