Write a short speech on the topic of social distancing
Answers
Answer:
⭐Keeping a distance from other people is unfamiliar territory for most of us. It feels awkward and unnatural. We’re not sure what to do and on top of this, the goal posts appear to shift daily as we grapple with the changing landscape of this coronavirus pandemic.
⭐Limiting our contact with people will slow down virus transmission and flatten the epidemic curve so that we can reduce the number of cases occurring at the peak of the epidemic. The aim is to lighten demands on the health system when the epidemic is at its peak, so all of those needing help can get it, and we save lives.
⭐Social distancing, more appropriately called physical distancing, is not always straight forward and if you are sometimes unsure, you are not alone. Even though I have experience working in infectious disease prevention and control, I too face moments of indecision translating what I know about social distancing into daily life.
⭐In order to put the theory into practice, we need to adhere to two principles. Firstly, assume everyone we meet has coronavirus, regardless of how they look or who they are. And secondly, also assume that we have coronavirus, and could give it to other people. It’s important we all act as though we are potentially carrying the virus.
⭐I could go on to list all the dos and don’ts of social distancing, but there’s an easier way to understand what you need to do: The smelly-person rule.
⭐I pretend that everyone in the world has not washed for six weeks, including me, and I behave accordingly. In this imaginary world where no one has washed, and everybody smells a bit, I definitely don’t want to be too physically close to anyone - certainly I want to be at least one to two metres away.
⭐I also don’t want to greet anyone with a handshake, a hug, and definitely not a kiss. I want to avoid any meetings I can - there’s nothing worse than being in a room full of people who don’t smell good.
⭐Naturally, in my imagined malodourous world, all activities that bring us into close contact with a lot of smelly unwashed people must be avoided including travelling, cafes, social functions, family gatherings and work meetings.
Mixing and spending time with friends and family, going out on vacation, exploring the unexplored were de rigueur. But with the advent of deadly Covid-19 rampaging across the world suddenly intermingling with folks both known & unknown have become a big NO.

Though the origin of Corona Virus is still unclear & debatable its spread surely happens from human to human. And that’s what we need to focus – CUT THE CONTACT between humans.
