Connections

The COVID-19 experience is about several things. One of them is connections.

Connections, among people, are through touch, talking, socializing, among other things. Everyone is connected to someone else, who is in turn connected to another. It is said we are no more than 6 connections away from anyone else in the world.  

Connections, among cities, countries and other spaces, enable us to cross the world and come into physical contact with each other. We are also able to connect virtually though email, text messaging, telephone or video conferencing and, as well, mentally through a common experience, like the “lockdown”.  

Our ability to make connections with friends, family, business partners, whether physical or virtual, whether local or around the world is one of the key strengths of the human species. Our connections enable us to form teams that make us stronger and smarter than we are individually.
