> I should emphasize that what we need is physical-distancing, not social.
Good distinction. We should be focusing more on hygiene while finding ways to connect remotely with the people who are important to us.

Good stop-gap, but not remotely viable long-term. Humans aren't made for isolation, even if video calls help take the edge off soon. FaceTime and Zoom have a significant cognitive load, too. As long as we're talking about how society should adapt to this sort of risk, we can't just go to living in individual hermetic pods with internet connections. The mental health cost will be monstrous.
Why the cogntive load would be lesser in a face to face conversation than digital assuming the internet connectivity is good ?
