A halt in social distancing may lead to a resurgence in COVID-19
By Abigale Storch
According to a new U.S. consumer survey* conducted by Bospar PR, more than half (55.3%) of Americans are concerned about contracting the novel coronavirus this year. It’s no secret that COVID-19 exists. Whether you are listening to the radio, watching the news, or reading an article just like this one, you are bound to inherit some new information on this global pandemic. From the stay-at-home orders, to pure anxiety of catching COVID-19, we have been quarantined; hiding away in our homes from the virus - or at least we used to be.

Lately, I’ve been noticing some people becoming more lenient in quarantine. The CDC recommends that you stay 6 feet apart and wear a mask even while social distancing. They also suggest that you avoid gatherings of any size outside your household, such as a friend’s house, parks, restaurants, shops, or any other place. However, I've been seeing people do quite the opposite lately. I’ve been noticing people hanging out with their friends without masks or proper social distancing. People used to abide by the concept of social distancing, but I think people are starting to ease up. I’m not saying it’s bad to loosen up a little bit, but they are acting like COVID-19 is totally gone. And the truth is, it’s not. According to Michigan.gov, there’s an average of 202 new confirmed cases of the current coronavirus daily in Michigan in addition to 12 daily deaths. Michigan Medicine states that Livingston County has had a total of 391 cases, and 26 deaths due to COVID-19 so far. The key to keeping these cases and deaths down is social distancing. “By keeping as many people at home as possible, they’ve kept the numbers of serious cases of COVID-19 below or just above what hospitals in most areas can handle says Howard Markel, M.D., Ph.D. of the University of Michigan Center for the History of Medicine.” (Michigan Medicine, Gavin 1). The article also states that “Easing up on “social distancing” steps too soon, and too quickly, could give the novel coronavirus a chance to race back into broad circulation, ...Serious cases, and deaths, could spike again, and waste all the progress that has been made so far.” (Michigan Medicine, Gavin 1).
I think this is really important to think about. People need to realize that COVID-19 isn’t gone yet, and that we need to keep social distancing. The evidence shows how it’s safer for you and others if you stay home and limit interactions with others. We should do as much as we can to reduce the cases in our county and our state. Social distancing isn’t the most enjoyable thing, but it’s what needs to be done. If we start loosening up and aren't as serious about quarantining, we may get a second wave of COVID-19. That means more cases, and more deaths which should be avoided at all costs.
