To suggest it's physical distancing not social distancing

[SpruceTree]

At this time we need to distance ourselves physically but socially we need to stay close. FaceTime, Zoom, emails, snail mail, telephone, things like Mumsnet etc
Just a thought.

I couldn’t agree more. Have downloaded Zoom and after a week of feeling shit and missing family/ friends have had 3 evenings in a row of chatting, laughing, drinking wine ‘together’, exercising together in the day etc. It has done me the world of good! Don’t know why I didn’t think of it sooner! Even my Nan is now on FaceTime. My kids ‘see’ their friends every day and we are all a lot happier because of it. Physical distancing fine but we Are not ‘social’ distancing any more! Thank for foe technology!

"Spatial distancing" is my preferred term. Or "splendid isolation".

I like to say "spatial distancing"

What is zoom?
I agree OP. I’ve been calling people and FaceTime people more than usual.
Even my colleagues - we are all checking on each other daily.

Zoom has been our saviour. Virtual drinks with friends has been such a laugh and a great way to keep in touch.

Agree, I saw this on Twitter a few days ago and thought it was a better description.

For the person who asked what Zoom is, it's a videoconferencing website/app. bluejeans is another. Like Skype.

Can I ask zoom users are there any benefits over Skype? Thanks in advance 😊

It’s all about the House Party app. Better than Skype, zoom, facetime, webex and anything else!
