I think technology brought us, strangers, closer, made the world smaller but real life connections more distant. For me it's wonderful to be able to interact with people from all around the world but everyone should take care that their real family and friends are not neglected.
Covid-19 is an enemy that is robbing us from our real life connections, keeping us from touching, hugging, Masks keep us from reading facial expressions, makes you fear the ones without masks.
I am also hoping to go back as things were, but I don't see it anytime soon. South Africa came out of a second wave and already they are talking about the 3rd wave in our winter in 2 months time.
Thank you for writing.
