In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, I suggest we not only practice
physical distancing (this term is preferable to social distancing, see
https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/wellness/social-distancing-coronavirus-physical-distancing/2020/03/25/a4d4b8bc-6ecf-11ea-aa80-c2470c6b2034_story.html),
but also “evil distancing.”
What is evil distancing?
Any prominent person, institution or media outlet that called the
pandemic a hoax or downplayed its significance helped kill thousands of
Americans who listened to them. There never was any actual medical
controversy - they perverted the truth for unjustified reasons. As we
think about rebuilding a post-pandemic society, I suggest we distance
ourselves, to the extent possible, from those who did this evil.
