Abstract
INTRODUCTION|By April 2020, a significant portion of students from across the globe were taking classes online instead of learning with their friends at school. Most working-age adults found themselves at home, many unemployed. Everyone worried every day about the safety and health—the most fundamental needs—of loved ones. Across public spaces, “no entry” signs and posters reminded individuals to stay six
feet away from each other to strictly enforce social distancing at all times. Bustling restaurants and bars were ordered to shut down, save for a few diligent takeout and delivery locations. Streets were virtually empty. Travel was effectively out of question, as were weddings, honeymoons, Easter get-togethers, and graduation ceremonies.
