Change the Term "Social Distancing" to "Physical Distancing"

The Issue

The term "Social Distancing" should be change to "Physical Distancing" permanently.  With the "stay at home mandate" during the pandemic people have been experiencing stress, anxiety, amd many other mental health issues. We only need to stay 6 feet apart we do not need to stop talking to each other.  Using the term "social distancing" has a negative impact on people. We need people and we need communication for our our own mental health.  I go to the market, to walk on the beach, or even walking in my neighborhood and the people that use to say hello do not say anything.  It isn't enough that the mask coverings are inhibiting us but "social distancing" is making it that much worse.

The President and the CDC need to change the term so that all Governors and Mayors and anyone in a position of power will do the same.  We are in this together and we will come out of this together. Please use the correct term to keep us together!  We will continue to "Physical Distance" until it is safe for us to be together again.
