If someone was collapsed on the street...would go to assistant them...or just ring an Ambulance and wait at distance or just walk on by? Would you have....helped them before the lockdown?

Will social distancing affect the way you interact with others...in the future?
Will you fear intimacy with another?
Will you live in fear forever?

I'm still the same person I always have been and I'd take the view that IF immediate action could save a life THEN I'd take that appropriate action now rather than be afraid of some ephemerally possible consequence that might occur in future.
What I'd do, and have done in the past, is a 111 call, describe the situation, patient and follow advice. IF they told me to not touch, that's what happens. If they tell me 'other' then that also is what would happen. The situation occurred the day before Level 4 here, Level 3 is very similar to that - the ambulance staff took the chap to hospital where he spent nine days and is now recovering in a nursing home


Will social distancing affect the way you interact with others...in the future?
Inevitable - this will be forced upon my by the antics of the fearful - but if they start their 'Distance Dances' I'll just have to smile inside

Will you fear intimacy with another?
No, no more than the ordinary awareness of avoiding scammers, users, alkies, drug users, gold diggers etc


Will you live in fear forever?
I'm not 'living in fear' now ... why would I change that ?

There's nothing more romantic than a world forcing us to part the one thing we lack is a considerable risk of dying tomorrow. Like Romeo and Juliet or a real war. Still, some risk of dying tomorrow increases the love humanity has for its own species.
