Talk:Physical distancing

Move discussion
Hello everyone, Physical distancing is increasingly substituting the old term due to increasing concerns of the inevitable consequences including psychiatric conditions The Mental Health Consequences of COVID-19 and Physical Distancing: The Need for Prevention and Early Intervention. However, this is the only way I know to switch the pages. Please guide me if there is a better way or proceed with your own way. I appreciate you taking the time to correct it Behzad Azarmju M.D. (talk) 23:13, 15 April 2020 (UTC).

 * Fortunately, wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a support group, so it is irrelevant for our purposes whether calling the concept by a different name may have mental health consequences (more than the isolation itself?). The correct way to change the title of an article is to file a move request. Natureium (talk) 00:27, 16 April 2020 (UTC)

Technically isolation, separation, or distancing to prevent transmission of infections are physical not social occurences in nature. However, they can necessitate some social isolation which has attenuated with the novel communication technologies as well as deprivation from physical contact benefits. Applying the term "social distancing" for this purpose is simply incorrect and many times implys the "social isolation" .Also, I would like to draw your attention to some of the main world references (WHO and englophone governments):      Behzad Azarmju M.D. (talk) 07:34, 16 April 2020 (UTC)
 * This is an ineffective place to have this discussion. Perhaps as few as three editors have seen it. The place to have this discussion is at Talk:Social distancing., there were 95 editors who have made coments & 107 who are watching. You may open a new discussion there.


 * As I have already mentioned, there is an archived discussion at Talk:Social distancing. Please review that. Do not make any changes there, as it is archived. Again the proper thing to do is to open a new discussion using the talk page guidelines.
