I believe Chartier calls it Orwellian. I'd probably say it seems to be something more akin to _A Brave New World_* than _1984_. Anyhow, he recommends using "physical distancing with social solidarity." That seems a double redundancy. How about "distancing with solidarity"?</span><br style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"></span><br style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Regarding the folks in Florida, are you aware that they've pretty much reopened before when the photo was taken?
