Coronavirus – What Social Distancing Means

Social distancing, slowing down COVID-19 cases drastically in Ohio

As the country continues to follow social distancing guidelines to help curb the spread of COVID-19, curving the spread of the virus has been significant in Ohio. The graph above in yellow shows the amount of new cases submitted without social distancing measures. The bluish graph shows the amount of new cases once social distancing has been implemented full force in Ohio.

For now, these measures are critical to help slow the spread of disease to avoid overwhelming the health care system so ill patients can be cared for over time.

So what does “social distancing” mean? According to public health officials, social distancing is deliberately increasing the physical space between people to avoid spreading illness. Here’s how you can help:

Listen to and follow the directions of your state and local authorities.
Stay home if you can and avoid any non-essential travel.
Keep at least six feet away from other people if you must go out in public.
Avoid eating or drinking in restaurants, bars and food courts. Use drive-thru, pickup or delivery options.
Avoid visiting nursing homes, retirement or long-term care facilities.

The Fight of Fear

Fear is a powerful emotion and unsteady expression. Left unattended, fear wrecks relationships, ravages emotions, sickens bodies, demolishes dreams, and dries up the soul. As the world battles through the COVID-19 crisis, many have decided to let fear stop them in their tracks. The COVID-19 virus is a serious illness and shouldn’t be taken lightly. But, in the midst of it all, let’s not forget another powerful emotion and forceful expression that brings fear to its knees - Love.

Now why bring love into the COVID-19 situation? Well, here is why. Love remembers to take care of the elderly. True Love comes with the patience needed when you are balancing your children’s home education along with your work from home schedule. Love is attentive and responsible, helping us to prevent illness spread. True love is wisdom; a foundation in good judgment. Love is serving the sick, like our nurses and doctors during this storm. Love is protecting the innocent, such as what our police officers, firefighters, and first responders do, helping provide justice for all.

With all the fear spread around the world, Love conquers it all and remains the strongest. With the determination that Love shares, we will get through this, we will beat this - together.
