The Social Distancing Effect

I need not separately explain what state the world is in. We have data all over. We are watching no.s daily. In your country… in the world, now its no.s which is actually a game player. The decrease in no. deaths, the decrease in no. of days of lockdown, the increase in negative cases, the increase in productivity… all the above are the positive signs for back to the original state.

It started with 1 human, 1 place. The only way to restrict this is social-distancing. Apart from all other terms, I was thinking about how impactful is this

Stay away from people who have a cold as the common cold can spread. The term “stay away” means maintain a distance for individual safety. Now the only way to control Corona is social distancing as no medicine yet proved to be available. Now staying away from a common cold might last for few + days but as we saw the coronial conditions, the social distance with respect to all scenarios has become a protocol to control

What changes can we expect after we breath easy

→ To be frank, the fear which corona gave to the world will live for decades. Countries and companies can come back to the original state but the fear will last and will be a lesson for the next generations.

→ People will start caring more for health than usual

→ Dedicated money will be saved only for this kind of situations in which the fear of jobless or preparedness even if 1 loses a job will be increased

→ People will start calculating no.s on how many people will attend events/marriages/hotels etc.

→ People will check about safety and might look for best hotels where all measures are taken care

→ A mid-aged person (someone like me) will consider a lot of factors for him, for his family which includes kids to elders

→ Cold and cough conditions even though its low, can be exceptional leave-in future. I can work if I have pains but cannot really work if I have a cold as that effects me + my surroundings. A single medicine cannot cure any cold in an hr.

→ Sanitizers, paper towels, gloves will be regular items for everyone

→ Taking care of health — especially building protein-based food items will be increased.

→ Its no so easy for people to go for even a small vacation as the fear which is created.. is still a bad dream for many of us.

→ The usage of App-based solutions will be increased for health and safety. We do have many apps at this moment but still, the increase will be high even for elders where mobile is still limited to calling and social interacting

And many more…. All the above points are safety-based driven precautions

I strongly believe that this is the best time to think about our future.

We cannot escape from any danger but can control it to not to reach us. In that process, it's more important how best we can safeguard our lives. Here are some thoughts

1. Social distancing is a safeguarding term, so its time to set where (even after complete corona effect) can we make ourselves ready. For that, it's more important how social we are and find min 5 areas where this can be maintained or controlled

2. It's more important for us to know that we are living because our surroundings are living better. You reach home safely as your driver is good and safe.

Today your life is dependent on your neighbor/colleague. You are safe because they are safe too.

3. To ensure that this works well… its more important to train yourself and train others — vice-versa. This is the only best way where we can save our generations on what to do and what not do

4. The thought process on how to re-make your starting from early morning to sleep hours has to get changed.

5. Safeguarding your health and investing time on your health is the vision on 2020 from my view which can lay the path to my next year

6. There is a line — “The person who can use the min available resources around him is a real expert”. Now what are the available resources — using the best of the technology for health, what is the best way where I can minimize travel and increase productivity which saves my fuel and time

7. Best usage of App-based platforms where one can consult doctors online wrt conditions is a good move where you need not consult directly if the effect is small-medium

8. A rule of the book of health will act as a directory in every house

We are not yet clear how fast corona will leave the world, as the virus is born — not dead yet — nor a new medicine found. This a different stage for most of us. Now, when a challenge is new and different — it will also give birth to make us self fit. I strongly believe that the world will be a maker space to invest and implement in health and can expect a lot of innovation to happen.

Finally, the corona is a HIDDEN DEVIL. Let us fight with the data-driven precautions. Trust facts — leave false.

This is a lesson for me + many which say… never neglect/ignore health

LOVE LIFE -LIVE LIFE
