Together apart

"Life during the corona virus pandemic"

Staying together apart has never been so easy.

Quarantine has always been a strategy to prevent the spread of contagious disease, and it meant that you had no contact with your social circles. But our digital infrastructure enables us to stay in touch differently.

Online meetings, chatting, classes -- you don't have to lose touch even while in quarantine. Today, it leaves you alone with the best information delivery system ever conceived.

Critics often denounce technology/social media for reducing face-to-face conversation between people, but in our present circumstance technology is paying off with relationships maintained during quarantine (or social distancing).

Some say that businesses will never retreat from this model. If a company didn't embrace it before, because it was not essential, they're fully into it now and likely will remain so to some degree. For some employees, working remotely/at home is the ideal.
