Social distancing has a contradiction in it on its own. We as human beings, are not made to social distance. Ok, some exceptions on the rule always exist, but 99,999% of us need to be among people. The face masks and 1,5 social distancing contradicts all science known about our social behaviour and needs. And this on a cellular level: our DNA. To give some easy examples: why do prisons have isolation cells as a severe punishment. Why are we concerned about (old) people living alone. This 1,5m distancing and the face masks goes against just about everything human and however insignificant it may seem to some, this will cause problems on the longer term.
