What really is the proper social distancing?

In the beginning, social distancing was not coined yet so people just go on with their personal business in public places. The first 3 cases of corona virus in our country were all gone. But when the 4th case appeared followed by another and another, the government went ballistic and instituted a lockdown. The term social distancing was born that people should observe so as not to violate the quarantine rules.

The government announced that people should observe a distance of 3 feet or 1 meter from each other. No closer than 3 feet which means you cannot talk to each other like before. Perhaps you have to shout to be clearly understood with what you are saying. But wise guys say that you can just use the social media to communicate. You can see each other close up, you can hear each other clearly so what the heck with the social distancing.
