Isolation

Humans are social animals. Like ant colonies, we self-organise based on social interaction. This makes the current requirements for self-isolation and social distancing due to the Coronavirus both biologically unnatural and emotionally challenging. Fortunately, we live in a digitally connected world, where we are still able to reach out to colleagues and loved ones – and we must make a conscious effort to do so, now more than ever. But let us also remember those who are not digital natives, who are not social media savvy, who may not even be connected online. We must stay connected with them too.
