Staying home is important to quell the spread of the coronavirus, but healthy people should also preserve their sanity within the bounds of local rules.
Not to own the libs or in denial of the global pandemic. Not because I don’t think the novel coronavirus is a big deal or because, statistically speaking, you’re probably not sick. Don’t go outside because you’re young and healthy and unlikely to experience severe symptoms if you do get sick, or because you think the dangerously belated national response is an overreaction.
Ironic tweets about how it’s presumptuous of the government to assume you even have 10 friends are funny the first half-dozen times, pictures of your pets paired with “coworker” captions are still cute, and riffs on Love in the Time of Coronavirus never were. But please stop posting about how you haven’t left your apartment in days. There’s no excuse for that! That means you should not go outside to go to your office or to eat at a restaurant or to meet up with friends.
Keeping yourself from going stir crazy and maybe even sneaking in a little exercise is an essential activity — and for a good reason. Contrary to the spirit of memes mocking millennials by comparing our current couch-bound plight to storming the beaches of Normandy, being cooped up is stressful. Anxiety is a sufficient reason to be struggling — even in the face of a global pandemic.
But now is a great time to read the fine print. Social distancing is not just a punchline, it has an actual, knowable, applicable definition. According to a New York Times article breaking down a lot of the buzzy terminology, it means “keeping six feet of distance between you and others while in public and avoiding physical contact with people who do not share your home.” It also means remembering to wash your hands when you come home.
