Why isn't it "social spacing" instead of "social distancing"?

Missed a good chance for alliteration.
Plus, "social distancing" sounds more douchy than "social spacing".

Alliteration always annoys.

Because social distancing subconsciously programs people to become alienated from other people. Mind control, man.

Doesn't matter what they call it, I'd still be tired of hearing it.

In 1963 when Edward Hall, a cultural anthropologist, coined the term proxemics to define studies about social distancing in everyday life.
Hall proposed four main zones of space between individuals:
Intimate distance (less than half a metre), such as in giving or receiving a hug.
Personal distance (about 1 metre), usually reserved for family or good friends.
Social distance (2 to 3 metres), when meeting strangers.
Public distance (more than 5 metres), such as in public presentations.

Friend,
You have corrected the wrong term. Spacing or distancing as a term is fine. Instead of social, it should be physical, as it is physical closeness, not socialization, which can occur outside physical proximity, which lends itself to spread of airborne virus.

Gotta give the OP credit for getting the ball rolling.

Because that’s not what they used in Contagion.
