COVID-19: Sharing the Distance

The COVID-19 pandemic is creating havoc around the planet. Markets in debacle, political fights stopped, social gatherings prohibited and whole country is on lock down because the world tries to impede its unfold. COVID-19 has been recorded to unfold by human body contact, reflex or physical object transmission i.e. transmission that happens once viruses or microorganism that stay on surfaces cause infections.

COVID-19 has caused a domino effect throughout the world. Global Tourism, travel and hospitality companies close down economic activities, impacting SME’s globally. Of the many areas of everyday life hit by the virus, greeting etiquette is currently being transformed around the world. Several world leaders and others are now using the simple joining of hands to say “Hello”, “Hi” and “How do you do” the Indian way with the ‘namaste’, a combination of the Sanskrit words ‘namas’ (bowing) and ‘te’ (to you). Recently, an advisory was issued which specified avoiding handshakes, embrace, hugs or any other form of human body contact. Here our own traditional ‘namaste’ comes into play that helps in maintaining a minimum distance of a meter and not cause contagion.

Now another revolution is beginning: the style for caressing and bear hugs can shortly appear not solely dated however disgustful. the total world is adopting the habit of greeting one another with “Namaste.” individuals can pride themselves on keeping an honest distance from their fellow humans not as a result of simply because they need to avoid catching one thing — however because it’s the correct and civilised thing to try to do.

Few of us have directly fully fledged the disaster, however most folks fully fledged some version of it through numerous medias. Many of us are still troubled to form sense of what’s happening. This matter is claimed to be “highly dynamic.” Online info graphics and charts are created each day and perpetually updated. Graphs are premeditated and shared, in several forms and designs, providing completely different views on a scenario that stay troublesome to totally grasp.

Comparisons are created and unmade, numerous governments formulate recommendations and enforce exceptional legal measures. Like others, I actually have return to find out and use new expressions like: “community unfold,” “self-isolation,” “flattening the curve,” however most conspicuously “social distancing.”
