I have to admit I am a total extrovert, and isolation is physical & mental torture to me. We have a small closed community, have all been pretty isolated together for weeks; if I couldn't go out and walk and talk, at safe distance, I would have a hard time surviving. Really! I have a single daughter who is like me, has been almost 4 weeks in Covid-19 quarantine - I don't know if she could have survived the isolation without Zoom, and the fact that she was helping her fellow nurses from behind the scenes as their union steward and workplace advocate throughout her entire illness.
With a number of my co-volunteers, we are trying to figure out what our organizations will look like going forward, because it is our feeling that we are looking at many months of social distancing before we are past this pandemic - at least until there widely available post-tests, good answers about whether previous infection that confers immunity, proven treatments that are available, and a vaccine.
How do you see Covid-19 changing your world for the long-term?
