“Physical Distancing” is a more realistic and the better name for it. We can all still socialize via phone, Skype, Facebook, etc., but that name has caught on and won’t be replaced at this date.
Admittedly, I can’t come up with a better title than this:

Trump’s Daily Briefings Expose His Inadequacy
~
On Sunday, President Trump, absent any hard evidence, suggested that large numbers of masks were being stolen from New York hospitals, citing an unnamed facility he said had seen a huge surge in mask usage. “How do you go from 10 to 20 [thousand masks being used], to 300,000?” Trump said.
✄
Perhaps — just perhaps — the increased volume of masks being used is correlated with the emergence of a runaway, highly contagious pandemic?
I wonder if Joseph Stalin ever said during the Battle of Stalingrad: “This doesn’t make sense. Normally they only want 20,000 boxes of ammunition. All of sudden they want 300,000? Someone must be stealing the bullets.”
Is it possible there is some mask pilfering by staff? Sure. But why is the president hypothesizing about this off the top of his head?
Why not use his position as the most powerful man in America to have “somebody” look into the situation before he blurts out an accusation without facts to back it up?
✄
It’s even worse that we have to put up with a president who answers questions off the cuff without regard for facts or concern for how what he is saying might be misinterpreted.
Add in his incessant dedication to petty grievances, partisan puffery, and chest-beating braggadocio, along with all of the obligatory obsequiousness he requires of officials who know far more than he does.
Together, these things create an affirmative need to call out the nonsense, because the nonsense isn’t just annoying; it’s dangerous.
Yesterday, I spoke for about ten minutes with my 86 year old neighbor, who is 23 years older than me. We kept a safe distance, which meant that we were both talking very loudly.

When a Chinese cardiologist was interviewed on 60 minutes he was at least 25’ away from his wife during that interview.
