Think about the people closest to you. Tell us about how the coronavirus has affected them, and their life.
My roommate has been going to work in construction, where a majority of his coworkers are conservatives and think that COVID is either a hoax, or overblown. His foreman has cancer, and still refuses to take precautions. He goes to work wearing a mask like this, and a faceshield, every day. Since he does so, he's been harassed and referenced as an "Antifa terrorist" for it. He just doesn't want to die, and doesn't want to put me at greater risk, while paying the bills. It's caused a lot of stress, and I worry for his sake.

Cuéntenos, ¿cómo cree que será el mundo después de que pase la pandemia del coronavirus?
Me parece que nada será igual. Hoy muchos seguimos teniendo miedo de contagiarnos a pesar de estar vacunados, la mascarilla se ha vuelto parte de nuestra vestimenta diaria, incluso los vestidos de fiesta ya traen una mascarilla como complemento. Pienso también que algunos nos hemos vuelto menos afectivos, abrazamos y saludamos menos a la gente, y cuidamos más el espacio personal. La entrada al trabajo también habrá de debilitar más los lazos sociales pues los espacios para tomar alimentos serán más controlados y no se permitirá tantas personas a la vez. Algo preocupante cuando somos seres sociales por naturaleza.
