Why do we have to live like this?

The virus needs us to move; it jumps person to person after close contact so the idea is to slow its infection rate by temporarily changing our behaviour

Through social distancing (staying home where possible, avoiding gatherings and keeping 1.5 metres clear of others). As the world waits for a vaccine, this will save lives by helping stop a surge of cases overwhelming emergency departments all at once. 

Along with measures like lockdowns and tracing and isolating cases, social distancing has worked against outbreaks in the past, including the Spanish Flu.
