PANDEMIC-RELATED

What Isn't?
   A quantitative analysis by me has not been done, but I think that among the most popular news topics -- right up there with the Middle East situation, the U.S. presidential election, the colour of one of the candidates and Taylor Swift -- the Covid pandemic still maintains a high ranking. Our era is likely to be divided for study by the historians into pre- or post- chunks. Our plague period seems to have had an impact on everything. 
   We learned from the pandemic, for example, that people do not like to work and really find it inconvenient to go to it. All kinds of social changes and behaviours are now attributed to the Covid years. To prove my point I will show some results quickly found by doing this simple google search: "Pandemic related."

   I am not sure what all of this means, but the good news is that the people doing all of these studies were likely able to work from home and present the results via Zoom. 
   Perhaps I am a bit suspicious. I did recently provide a post where I questioned the degree to which we can generalize about people within a particular generation. I suppose one can also question the degree to which a society has changed because of one cause, even a big one like the pandemic. 

When Was It?
   The pandemic, that is. In case you have forgotten, as I did, exactly when our plague started and how long it lasted, I will provide an answer here. 
 A beginning point: "On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared this novel coronavirus outbreak a public emergency of international concern. A few weeks later, on March 11, 2020, it declared COVID-19 as a pandemic."
An ending one: "On January 30, 2023, the Biden Administration announced it will end the COVID-19 public health emergency declarations on May 11, 2023."
