What is the difference? Social Distancing, Isolation and Quarantine.



What is Social Distancing?

This is keeping your distance from another person. Social distancing should be practiced by everyone infected or not infected.

Social Distancing includes:
  • Avoiding Handshakes
  • Avoiding Crowds
  • Keeping at least 2meters away from people while outside
  • Last but not least staying at home.

What is Isolation?

This is to stop the infected people to spread the virus to healthy people. Isolation means completely staying away from other people only your caretaker can see provided that they have personal protective equipment.

There is a special wing for that in many modern hospitals. This can be done for at least 14 days in the case of COVID-19 infection or until it is confirmed that you are completely free of the virus.

What is Quarantine?

This is a lot like Isolation but for a group of people. And it is a preventive method. Quarantine is used when a group of people is suspected of being exposed. By restricting their movement we can decrease the chance of them spreading the disease. Quarantined people are kept until they clear of the contagious diseases they suspected of.

In this post, I tried to explain briefly about the difference between Social distancing, Isolation, and Quarantine.

Normal Sleep

Normal Sleep  Sleep is a universal behavior that has been demonstrated in every animal species studied, from insects to mammals. It is one of the most significant of human behaviors, occupying roughly one-third of human life. Although the exact functions of sleep are still unknown, it is clearly necessary for survival because prolonged sleep deprivation leads to severe physical and cognitive impairment and, finally, death. Sleep is particularly relevant to psychiatry because sleep disturbances occur in virtually all psychiatric illnesses and are frequently part of the diagnostic criteria for specific disorders. The ancient Greeks ascribed the need for sleep to the god Hypnos (sleep) and his son Morpheus, also a creature of the night, who brought dreams in human forms. Dreams have played an important role in psychoanalysis. Freud believed dreams to be the “royal road to the unconscious.” Electrophysiology Of Sleep Sleep is made up of two physiological states: ◦non-rapid eye movement (NR
