BBC Radio 4 - A Point of View, Fighting infection with imagination

Sarah Dunant on how imagination will be a vital tool to deal with social distancing.

As social distancing changes all our lives, Sarah Dunant takes on the role of trainer... in a work-out of our imaginations.

"As our physical reality is reduced down to a few rooms or a view from a window," writes Sarah Dunant, "our ability to conjure up things we're not able to experience is going to be vital to feed our imaginations."   

Sarah argues that - given social distancing - imagination is going to be an exceedingly powerful inner muscle when it comes to our mental survival.  
She offers us a few of her stand out images to get us started.
