I think that those ultimately responsible for (especially) social-distancing are perfectly well aware of the inhumanity of what has happened, and is being sustained - and the intent is exactly that isolation will permanently move people towards regarding themselves as mere ego/I-less animals (at best); or (since humans are, after all, *social* animals - as even the most Dawkins-esque materialistic biologists affirm) preferably have us self-identified as mere 'biological machines' (as if both ego and astral were non-existent). So this is not merely inhumane, but anti-animalic!
