Being charitable - you're inadvertently being dishonest here.
Your "close friends", unless you met them all on IRC or whatever, literally _exist_ because you met them. Your family exist because you spent time close to each other.
I don't think you really understand what this whole brave new "social distancing" world means. It means never forming social bonds. It means young people never finding a partner, having children. It means children growing up thinking that their friends are virons.
We can do it in lockdown, for a while, that's what we're doing, and sensible people have no issue with that.
If you think we are going to do it for years, you're being daft. It's like imposing a chronic disease on 100% of the population.
