  • We are all living through an exceptional time. In late-2019, the world was rocked by COVID-19-a global pandemic that has changed the way we all live our lives. Millions of us around the world are staying indoors, practicing social distancing to protect ourselves, and others, from the disease. Our daily routines have been disrupted, and many of us have been separated from friends, family and work. We checked in on eight households to see how they are feeling, how they are passing the time, how they are keeping connected to others, and what they are looking forward to in a post-pandemic world. From Beijing, China, to Mashhad, Iran, to Melbourne, Australia, here’s how we’re all working through this thing, one day at a time, together.

    Let's have a moment of silence for those who we've lost along the journey, for the people fighting against this darkness set to challenge us, for all the frontliners, the public servants, our today's heroes, who continue to serve for a better day ahead of us, and may we treasure the very thing that this situation that we have right now taught us; unity isn't always about physical contact saying a whole crowd acting as one. At most times, it is about our hearts that beat as one and our hope for a brighter future.
    May we still remember these days when the time comes that all of this will end, for all we have lost, endured and learned as we continue to live. Bless us all!

She seems so posed and as the other person put, graceful. I quite liked learning about her, and her family, and listening to her speak about her life, and how they're handling everything. I thought it was also so wholesome that her, and her family all laid together in their family area reading books. It was so sweet and I loved it so much. I really love learning about other people, and their cultures and customs.

Let's come back holding on to all these new connections and let's take what we learned to make our world better, kinder, more equatable and sustainable. I was also struck by how diverse our families have become.

      Happy for those who have these privileges - I am included -. But in reality in most parts of the world this is not the case. In Brazil for example (where I live), there are favelas, many homeless people and places where basic sanitation does not exist. In 2019, we had 13.3 million people living on a per capita income of less than $ 30 a month. And I know that around the world there are people living with even less, these people, my friend, will be hit hard by the corona, because they are not able to make an appropriate social isolation. A taste of what corona is in a poor country? See Ecuador.

We call by phone about three times a week. I buy groceries two times a month. I buy toilet paper twice a year but been that way for years. I drive ten miles a month. Once I wondered if anyone would get curious about me if I didn't mow my portion of ground here in the trailer park and...nope no one came in three months. I'm disabled and 64. Not well and getting weaker. But it's ok such is life. I know I'm not the only one with this problem. Maybe I did more to cause it than I realize. Maybe.

    Greetings from Australia. We started our social distancing on the 16/3/20. I lost my job on the 18 and today is the 39th day into our practice. My initial reaction was how am I going to cope with all the time off, not seeing my family and friends going to church on a Sunday and dining out with my friends. It was ugly the first week, because of panic buying and my mind was exhausted by the constant bombardment of coronavirus on the news. In the first 2 weeks, I avoided going to supermarkets in the day time to avoid the crowd so I will only shop at night. I am actually enjoying the time of now off as I get to read more and spend time to
    reflect on my life. What I have learned is that we do not need to surround ourselves with material things to be happy, I was just
    contented reading, binge-watching once in a while and doing my 45 minutes exercise while watching The Chase.
    I have faith that this bad phase that is affecting the world right now is temporary and our life will go back to almost normal. I pray for comfort and healing for those people who have been affected by this terrible virus. I thank God for always putting food on my table and a warm bed to lie down. Hopefully, when the dust has settled I will get my job back and when we can see our family again I am going to hug each and every one of them tight and let them know how much I have missed them. I will go to the shops and spoil myself a little and off to the restaurants to spend some money to help boost the economy.
    I hope you all have been coping well with the virus and keeping safe. Take care and be kind to each other.

    All covid-19 had done for my family is pull each other further apart. My school really emphasises on academics so I had classes everyday. My brother had classes and tuitions, because he's in another school and honestly we weren't doing well at all, it's worse that both of us have a major exam this year and we're not sure if we can take it. My mom holds a pretty high position at her job, but she doesn't really make enough even though she puts more effort than anyone else, she even work through the night with meetings scheduled almost every hour. COVID-19 didn't help with our family relationship, rather, it did the opposite.

    And 4 years later.... Writing in 2024... I think this is a great historical source. How quickly we all, myself included, have forgotten that vow not to take things for granted. Stay well. All the best.

    3 in my family. All have jobs considered “essential.” Nothing changed. (I’d rather stay home, though.)

      Lol same. All in my home work in essential fields so we all have to work. The difference is we actually get to rest at home when we are sick!

    Iranian Woman was the only one that brought up how we should be humble that we are still healthy. I love that perspective. I remind myself that while this “does suck”, I’m healthy, no kids to worry about, still employed (work in a lab), and I’m not working on the frontline.

    It is so wonderful to see everyone. Real people, not just actors on movies and tv shows. Stay safe and well. Live on!
