It’s hard to know what to do at times like this. It’s easy to fall into a sense of despair as we are all bombarded with apocalyptic-type news and are faced with unprecedented times of isolation, social distancing and being confined to our houses. While we all feel somewhat hopeless as this crisis unfolds across the globe, in many ways, we are now being called upon for local responses. And boy oh boy is the beautiful side of humanity shining on through. There are heartwarming stories of virtual and from-a-distance neighbourhood connections blossoming, where local communities are coming together to support each other, and the we-are-all-in-this-together vibe is revealing one big silver lining to this pandemic.
Where once the daily chat to the barista, high five to a workmate, kiss to a best friend, hug with a family member and catch-ups with loved ones were the norm, we are now faced with having to readjust to a new norm with social distancing measures in force.
While video calling and connecting using the many apps and tech available as a way of communicating is au fait to many, it’s easy for many to feel alone, isolated, down, immobile and hopeless right now.
Like a rainbow coming through the other side of a storm, however, you don’t have to look far to see “virtual and from-a-distance neighbourhoods” emerging in full force, ensuring that no person is left behind.
