I am seeing an increase in the number of masks polluting my surroundings. New York State has banned plastic bags so now the throw away mask has taken over as the number one annoying trash in lawns, on trees and in the street. I can't stand it!!! Birds and small animals can choke on the cords. It is unsanitary and ugly. I keep being reminded that the corona virus is still with us and the masks are ubiquitous proof of it.

I am not sure the world will change that much. I mean, the economy will be destroyed, and young people will suffer a year of bad education and too much screen time. But I don't think that people will refrain from hugging or that there will be more social distance than before. on the contrary, from what I see around me, people want to hug each other even more than before. still, the anxious people will have more virus-related anxieties, and we will see more books and movies on pandemics, disasters, and agoraphobia.
