Social Distancing

Ok I completely understand this concept. I agree with this practice. Let us try to flatten this COVID 19 curve.

That said….

For those of us who live alone it only increases our sense of isolation.

This is not a good sensation.

I listen to NPR a lot and an expert was extolling the virtues of this practice. And how you don’t need to socially distance yourself from those you live with … ummmm.

Living alone here.

I rely on touch, small though it may be, at work … to get me through.

Now we aren’t supposed to touch, hug … toe touches and elbow bumps are not a good substitute.

Again I say : I get it. I agree.

But this is gonna be a very hard few months for some of us who live alone and need the same comfort, of touch, others receive from their families.
