What changes do we want to keep from the COVID era?
from The Week in Philly from KYW Newsradio · host Audacy
We’ve all made major changes to deal with COVID-19, but now that things are opening up again, will any of those changes stick around long-term? 10 years from now, are there some things we might actually want to keep? Dr. Laura A. Siminoff is the Dean at Temple’s College of Public Health and a professor of social and behavioral sciences. After two full years of this pandemic, we ask her to think about what might have changed permanently - in how we work and learn, in health care, and in how we connect with each other - and what might still need to change. She also explains how we as humans adapt our routines so quickly and why it’s hard to go back.
