So far, I have not been successful on that front too. But I love your idea of 6 degrees as a metaphor for social distancing.

Probably. Love that graphic as your frame of thinking. I saw another that really illustrated the power of and need for decreasing our contact with others ... with no social distance measures a person could infect 400+ people in 30 days. And - I wonder - what would we all be writing about in this challenge without COVID-19?? It is the lens that currently colors everything we see.

The image at the end is powerful, too and thinking about the degrees of separation from the virus is productive.
