"Often posing translational challenges on multiple levels, metaphor 'is a pervasive feature in language' (Dickens 229) and 'epitomizes the complexity of communication' (Samaniego Fernández 161). In two widely-cited articles, Dagut describes metaphor as being 'by definition "original"' and 'at the frontier of linguistic change' (1976: 22-23); 'an individual creative flash of imagination fusing disparate categories of experience in a powerfully meaningful semantic anomaly' that 'presents a particularly searching test of the translator’s ability' (1987: 77). In this vein, Hanne states: 'Translating metaphor is one of the most fascinating challenges for translators of journalistic and literary texts, since it requires us to draw on a great range of our imaginative, cultural and linguistic resources' (208) (also see, inter alia, Dobrzyńska; Pisarsca; Schäffner 2004a; Q. Al-Zoubi et al; Prandi; Schäffner and Shuttleworth)" (from my PhD thesis, "Metaphor and Agency" 47).

b) encapullamiento inmunitario:
Cocooning (immunization)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Children generally have close contact with their parents, so children often catch diseases from their parents. This mother's vaccination therefore reduces the risk of infection for the child on her lap.
Cocooning, also known as the Cocoon Strategy,[1] is a vaccination strategy to protect infants and other vulnerable individuals from infectious diseases by vaccinating those in close contact with them. If the people most likely to transmit an infection are immune, their immunity creates a "cocoon" of protection around the newborn (or other vulnerable person).

I cannot find a more proper equivalent in Mexican Spanish. Distanciamiento social is a good election, but it covers much more than cocooning or "Quédate en casa". https://coronavirus.gob.mx/quedate-en-casa/

It would be nice if this could be retained.

In my country this is called "distanciamiento social", which is "social distancing". I have not heard another expression similar to the English "cocooning".
