Natural and applied sciences are connected together. In terms of Natural Science look for
this in explaining the physical world. According to Hosque, “this includes astronomy, biology,
chemistry, geology, and physics.” (2018) As I previously mentioned in milestone two, we are in
a social epidemic of COVID 19. With the social distancing, our leaders are telling us to do, we
have negated the everyday socialization of being social. We ask “how are you today”? Meaning
do you feel well, are you happy today? etc. What if I say on a scale of one to ten, ten being the
best how do you feel. Now I am measuring on a basic scale of familiarity with your feelings of
wellness. Through this lens, we can analyze more in-depth of the needs of socializing and find
answers and solutions to fulfill the need to socialize. It is noteworthy to mention that, many
people working in the field of medicine have tried to inform us of ways of coping with the
effects of the COVID 19 pandemic. The U.S. Department of Health & Human Services Center
for Disease Control and Prevention states how you respond to stress during the COVID-19
pandemic can depend on your background, your social support from family or friends, your
financial situation, your health and emotional background, the community you live in, and many
other factors. The changes that can happen because of the COVID-19 pandemic and the ways we
try to contain the spread of the virus can affect anyone. (U, 2020)
Historically, social distancing was also used interchangeably to indicate physical
distancing. However, social distancing is a strategy distinct from physical distancing behavior.
Pandemics can be stressful. When we think about Social wellness and COVID 19 what comes to

mind is thank goodness we have computers and cell phones to use social media platforms. Using
technology is now more pertinent than before. We can use our cell phones to call someone to
read a book shop, take pictures ad videos to share with others. In fact, by having cell phones and
computers we can continue to be sustainable for our families by working remotely from home
our car a park, etc. This would not have been possible without the use of computers and cell
phones. We even carry more personnel information on our cell phones and computers now if you
think about that our usage of this technology. We can retrieve such information by a swipe or
touch of the screens. There are so many other usages we can use with these items besides what I
have mentioned. Doctors have faster access to files and can consult with other resources faster bu
utilizing the computers ad cell phones internet. Additionally, the technology of computers is able
to function faster and more accurately than humans. They also have the ability to imitate human
behaviors ad characteristics in a more efficient manner. (Ray, 2018)
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic may be stressful for people. Fear
and anxiety about a new disease and what could happen can be overwhelming and cause strong
emotions in adults and children. Public health actions, such as social distancing, can make people
feel isolated and lonely and can increase stress and anxiety. However, these actions are necessary
to reduce the spread of COVID-19. Coping with stress in a healthy way will make you, the
people you care about, and your community stronger. (Gujral, 2020)
