After 8 minutes in the video…:
…in the near future,
the risk of collision of cosmic body with the earth will only increase.
If today, the closest star to us is Proxima Centauri,
at a distance of about 4.2 Light yearsthen, after 1.3 million years,
the star Gliese 710, will reach close to our system,
within a distance of 0.11 Light years to 1.3 Light years.
Now, 0.11 light years, or, even 1.3 light years, greatly reduces the need for speed, and long distance travel.
4.2 divided by 1.3 = 3.23 times less,
and 4.2 divided by 0.11 = 3.23 times less, 38.18 times less.
A 10,000 years trip can be shorten to 261.91 years.
A 100,000 years trip can be shorten to 2,619.1 years.

Sure, if people don’t travel, they will not carry it to other countries.
However, animals will.
It’s better that people don’t travel and spread it out of control, because, most animals are easier to control in case they are killing people, even if it is not for hunting.

Some people require breathing systems to recover.
I do have symptoms, however, I am also chronic bronchitis since I am 5 or 6 years old.
I am lucky to have a number to get an appointment, within the last 24 hours.
They would be able to give me a test, if it does get more serious.
Social distance, or, social distancing, and, physically staying away from people with a disease, virus, or, staying away from healthy people who do not have the problem who would get infected by being near them are not the same thing.
While it is more than possible for information systems specialists to be able to physically work away from people, and, stay in contact with society, through their information systems, and how they organize their work, it is not so easy for others.
So, while staying on good terms with society, it is possible to avoid to be too close to people in ways which could be unsafe for their health and your health.
In fact, information systems specialists like me often end up socializing more since they can design systems to do so, and not have to be in contact physically with those same people they socialize with.
It’s also not a good practice to invade other people’s body space.
It’s good to read that NASA does share intellectual property for public to use.
That is, public domain intellectual property material free for everyone to use, as long as they do it within the law.

Again, just because systems analyst can work better by being distanced from others who may be interfering against them, distracting against focus, unfairly compete, or cheat by copying them to avoid doing the analysis, and otherwise try to capitalize on the subject at hand, it doesn’t mean that it is not better for them to be away to be more social.
Being Social and being distanced from others are 2 things and factors which may be interpreted differently than to mean that to be distant from others is not to be social.
It depends what to be social is, given the conditions, and, since being close to others is or can be anti-social, due to the problem and risk caused by spreading, it doesn’t mean that being distant is not social.
In fact, if you are not infected and are with others who do not have infection, you may not get it.
Social Distancing can also be interpreted as to mean that being distant in this condition is being social, as in, how it is social to be distant in those condition.
Just because administrators paid based on fears and use of turn-ons and turn-offs doesn’t mean that it was right for them to be trying to justify it leading to illnesses.
If they were offered opportunities which were being used to divert from other risk and damage , they will eventually be held accountable even if it has to be done through natural scientific cause.
Edit:
he problem lies in the semantic of the expression.
Social gatherings are gatherings of groups of people, who may see those who are not accepting the invitation as being anti-social.
Again, that may differ.
It’s like saying, you have to go to church every Sunday, except when you are sick.
Then, if you are sick, you don’t have to go and you can stay home.
Distancing from people, and respecting their body space is more like it.
To take an expression like social gathering and applying it to fit viral conditions as social distancing, when, social distancing is interpreted as being anti-social, because of the fact that one is not being social by not being gathered, which also may not be social by the way, since it also depends on the conditions, which are not scientifically and clearly stated, may lead to errors and problems, since it is inaccurate.
Social distancing usually is interpreted to mean to be less social by distancing oneself or, a group, from society, such as by marginalizing them, either through discrimination, death, or other.
It doesn’t take an explanation to prove that the ignorance leads to social problems and death.

Today there’s been a interesting incident at War Thunder. I was rushing to a cap and as usual a couple smartasses in low tier, useless but ultrafast tanks rushed to it too, although they were told not to. So I entered the cap and there was one of the minitanks there, and I’ve decided to push him out of the base. His tank was too small to really avoid mine pushing it sideways, but anyway the zone has been capped before I could drive him out. And then I’ve realized that there’s a beach nearby, and the water is too deep to wade… so i’ve kept pushing him to the water, slowly but inevitably, and I felt his pain and stress (since I am empathetic and I would hate that happening to me) and yet a part of me just was saying “f*** it”. So after pushing him for maybe 40 seconds (whcih is incredibly long when you experience it) we’ve reached the water, and an animation of air exiting his tank has started. I’ve considered to back so he could drive out, but, drowning takes 5 seconds and his tank just has exploded meaning he was dead.
So far I haven’t been punished for this teamkill, and i am puzzled about that psycho part in me which just has kept pushing until the guy was dead, although I was well aware of his emotions… but didn’t cared. That’s not me, but, who else was in the room? Why just don’t drive him to the water but not the deepest? Why not scorn him or call him names or… something harmelss, instead of slowly, inevitably pushing him to his death for maybe 40 seconds… like a psycho. Or a EVE PvPer who gloats in fukking his fellow man.
Strange incident… Nighties lovelies!
