A new way to socialize: Social distancing

This is yet another new thing for me to get used to with the onset of Covid. And for someone who is vision impaired, this is indeed a challenge.


At all times I need to ensure that I am either standing or sitting at the prescribed distance away from someone else. I depend heavily on my senses of hearing, smell, and sometimes touch to make sure that I am safe.


My sense of hearing tells me how far I am away from someone else and this is my first safeguard. My sense of smell is my second safeguard. I use this sense to tell me how far away someone may be based on what I am sniffing: someone's perfume or after shave or smells of clothing or anything else.


My sense of touch is my third safeguard and I will sometimes use my cane to help me measure distance.


All in a day's challenge for social distancing.
