New York Times visualizes social distancing

"Social distancing" will probably be chosen as the word of the year 2020. Nobody knew the expression, now it is omnipresent. And in two words it sums up what is expected of the world's population if it wants to bring the corona virus under control. The social environment must temporarily take a back seat and contact with fellow human beings must be reduced to a minimum.

What it means can also be depicted with very many words. Last week, the layout artist of the New York Times used editorial text to visualize what social distancing means: the herd animal human being in its own little bubble.
