What has changed most about the world since the pandemic began?

<strong> Fundamentally, it's the things I took for granted.</strong> I love to travel and I'm finally at the time in my life when I have the time and money to do it. I love to have people in my house. I love cooking for them and having them linger at my table, talking and laughing. I miss walking through my old neighborhood, running into a friend and having coffee. <strong> I think the overarching loss is the sense of safety I had in the world. Now, every interaction is fraught with danger and mistrust.</strong> When I run necessary errands ( drug store, post office, grocery store) I am suspicious of everyone I interact with.<strong> I am not sure that will ever go away completely.</strong>
