The objective is to slow the spread of the illness. It is important that everything is done reduce to the total number of cases. The hope is if the pace is slow enough, our hospitals and health systems can continue to accommodate the people who need treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Studies show that during the 1918 influenza pandemic, approximately 22% of the population in Sydney avoided infection by practicing social distancing measures like closing theaters, canceling classes and quarantining ill patients. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What not to do:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Do not become hermits.

Panic leads our brain to think with emotion rather than intellectual higher processes of our brain. This can lead to irrational decisions,<em> especially if we are part of a large group of people trying to do the same thing, such as stocking up on household supplies, which leads to unnecessary shortages<\/em>. <\/li><li>Avoid discriminatory practices.
