Surviving During a Pandemic

What is it like to experience a pandemic? How have your life and your world changed? What has happened to all the things you used to do and took for granted? Your government has told you the world is no longer safe. You cannot carry on the way you always have before March 2020. You cannot travel, nor can you socialize. You must wear a mask to protect yourself and keep six feet from another person. What does daily life look like in the US, in China, Turkey, Guatemala, India, and Europe? Find out what the authors recorded in their journals about their lives.

This book shares a glimpse of different lives and stories from around the globe, told by young adults, and older adults. Men and women share their concerns, their sorrow, and their hopes during this extraordinary time. The human condition, the suffering, the introspection and character development is not a unique phenomenon, but a shared one.
