Who are we now, five years after COVID first shut the world down?

From lockdown memories to hybrid work, empty campuses and vanishing “weak ties,” the conversation explores what we’ve gained, and what we’ve lost, since 2020.

Amanda recalls driving to work with a permission slip as an “essential” broadcaster, while Anita reflects on the chaos of moving her clinical teaching and therapy sessions online. They discuss:

• How lockdowns reshaped teaching, work, and home life

• Why we may never return to full campus or office culture

• The collapse in vaccination rates and rising distrust in science

• The new culture of “boundaries” and why saying yes still matters

• Whether convenience has replaced connection—and what that means for friendship and community
