Pandemic Communication
As you all well may know there is a raging pandemic going on that seems to be no end in sight sadly. These are hard times for all of us experiencing this. It’s much harder for people who are losing there jobs and businesses. Some people are actually still living their normal lives not being affected by it as much. When things started off at first it was really bad. Everywhere in the world was going on lockdown. This was a huge panic, but the media really scaring everyone and making the situation worse. People have gone to extreme measures to make sure they don’t get this virus.
It’s been chaos going in the world, but fear not this hasn’t stopped us for communicating with one another. We have come up with new ways to address this issue of not being close to each other. This was already a thing before the pandemic but has been put into use more often compared to then. We now use video chatting apps like Zoom, Google Duo, Microsoft teams, etc. We use this so that we can have classes and meetings online now that we can’t be in person as much. When there was a lockdown, this was pretty much a huge necessity for us. Now after a couple of months have passed we are starting to come back closer as cases start to drop. There are still some parts of the world that can’t reopen or slowly reopen to where we can be close to each other. The catch is that we still stay 6 feet apart and wearing mask to stop the spread.
This is an example of how we communicate today, hopefully, we can use this opportunity to try new things and see how it goes in the far future.
