In the wind
Experts laud WHO move to use physical distancing, saying social distancing or isolation isn't good for mental well-being.
The World Health Organization (WHO) has started using the phrase "physical distancing" instead of "social distancing" as a way to prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus from people to people, a move widely welcomed by experts as a step in the "right direction".

At a daily news briefing on March 20, officials of the global health body said while maintaining a physical distance was "absolutely essential" amid the global pandemic, "it does not mean that socially we have to disconnect from our loved ones, from our family."

    Seems like the WHO is attempting to maintain relevance. Instead of sound medical guidance, they are changing catch phrases.

    Cash - seriously, WHO's right - social distancing was, like many, memes half-baked.
    Physical distancing from others is more accurate; 'social distancing' produces isolates like Mr. Chloroform, the FRAMOS kid.

    II'f there is any lesson out of this fiasco it's to fund the CDC and not some political tool of an organization like the WHO.
