Despite finding all this changes uncomfortable at the beginning, I have now learnt and gotten used to them. I now have my routines organized, I have gotten a stronger relationship with my family, as well as learning to do homemade bread and cook other things.

# data[].attributes.body
One of the many changes was my daily routine, for example, before I had to wake up at 5.30 am to get to university but now I can wake up at 7.30 and I still have time to do sports before classes.

With this new modality I have had more time to participate un different activities and projects without having to move from home, it is sometimes exhausting but it has given me a chance to meet other people.

On another hand, the dynamic I used to have my friends has changed, I  used do activities with them really often but now we had to find other ways to “get together”, we started exploring different platforms and found out that the one that worked the best was Zoom.

At the beginning of the pandemic it was necessary for me to go  back home. Four years ago I went to live to Santiago so I could study but with this situation, I've had to return to live with my family in Chimbarongo. It was necessary to organize the things about the study and life at home, the order, relationship with my family and the relation with my girlfriend, nothing has been easy but with communication and organization, we could overcome last year. This year my sister has started her university studies and I have been able to help her with the study system and other things referent to matter. With my girlfriend, we have done all possible to see us when it's possible and we have strengthened our relationship.

An important aspect that changed in my life was the sport. I used to train handball every week and played football with my partners and friends two or three times per month. When the pandemic began was necessary to change the training for exercise at home. In the beginning, I didn´t want to do anything, I was in this situation all the last year but this new year I proposed to train every week as therapy for my mood.

The pandemic we have lived in since early 2020 has brought many changes.

Every person has lived it in a different way, but we can all agree it has been adapting to it. For me, a university student who was used to being in campus all day, I now found myself at home without being able to go out.

# data[].attributes.body
One of the things that I value the most of the pandemic time is that I have been able to increase the bond with my family. I have to admit that at the beginning it was difficult to live all together all the time. We used to fight a lot for anything and it was hard to organize the housework together. Everyone had to do their part and be empathic in order to improve coexistence.
These days, everyone does what they have to do, we all help in the kitchen, do the cleaning and the other necessary tasks. But the most important learning is that now we have a great time together and there is much more trust between us.

With the pandemic, the common forms to communication has changed, especially, the form to see and speak with our friends. Before the pandemic, I loved go out every weekend with my friends, for example, we liked go to big parties (especially discos), play soccer matches with the team, climb mountains, especially the Cerro Manquehue, and take the car and go to restaurants or bars. Sadly, most of these activities were ended with the first quarantine, that began on March 15, 2020. Also, as the global and national situation is still abnormal, the quarantines start and end constantly from this day, so me and m friends can not do many of those activities again.

# data[].attributes.body
Well, after the complicated first months of pandemic, like every person, I got used to this new life in my house, little by little I paid more attention for the classes, I felt more confortable in my house, I learnt more about zoom or videocalls, where I can speak more with my friends, and see them again, on videoacalls. Also I learnt how to have a better communication with my family, and value all the good things that I have in my life. I really have learnt so much about the life with this pandemic, I really have learnt so much about myself, and I think this is the good part of this bad movie.

# data[].attributes.body
Another important learning from the past year has been the adaptation to online classes (remote learning). In my case, I am in my 4th year of career now, and I always have been the type of person that love go out, especially go to the university. I liked so much live the university's life, like to se my universtity group of friends, speak to my classmates if I had a question about the class or see the teacher face to face and have the confidence to ask every question I have. For this reason, in the beginning it was really difficult for me to have online class, I didn't like to put my camera or my microphone on, I couldn't feel good with it. The first months were the worst, I felt stressed because I didn't watch all my classes, and I felt anxious to come to the presencial university, and live the experience again.

A new survey highlights the adverse effects that remote learning had on many children in the past year that has been the coronavirus pandemic.

A survey of more than 32,000 caregivers of youth in Chicago Public Schools found that nearly a quarter of children were described by their caregivers as "stressed, anxious, angry or agitated" when the deadly disease shuttered in-person learning and Zoom became the country's collective new classroom.

The survey, conducted by Children's Hospital of Chicago and published recently in JAMA Network Open, was completed on behalf of nearly 50,000 children in various levels of education, ranging from Pre-K to 12th grade. The survey took place from mid-June to July 15, 2020.

The survey also found that about a third of youth were described by their caregivers as "lonely," while only one-third were described as "having positive social and peer relationships" during the year of remote learning, per a news release on the findings.

"Across the board, caregivers reported significantly worse psychological well-being after school closures as compared to before," they found.

The survey also found that Black and Latino participants were disproportionately affected by these stressors.

"Caregivers are reporting that the pandemic and school closures have taken a substantial emotional toll on their children and adolescents," said lead author Tali Raviv, Ph.D., a clinical psychologist at Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago Center for Childhood Resilience and Associate Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, in a statement.

"Greater public attention to youth mental health issues during this time can help appropriately allocate resources and inform policies to support the well-being of students as schools begin to reopen" added Raviv.

The findings are in line with other research on the topic of how remote learning has negatively impacted students since the start of the pandemic, namely on those of color. A report from December, for example, estimated that by the end of last year, the pandemic would likely cause U.S. students, on average, to lose some five to nine months of learning.

Co-senior author Kenneth Fox, M.D., from the Chicago Public Schools, spoke to how the survey highlighted the ways schools provide "fundamental needs" to children, and how these fundamentals were impacted when learning went remote.

"The pandemic revealed to all what we've long known is true: schools are important community hubs that meet fundamental needs like access to food, health and mental health supports and services, as well as other kinds of protection," said Fox. "While schools continue to meet those needs, we think they will also serve as sites of community healing where public health strategies and systems can converge and align to serve families in innovative ways. This convergence may be a powerful way to address the increased mental health needs the pandemic has wrought among our students, especially those from Black and Latinx communities, to ensure equitable access to support and care."

Finally, after all I have said, I only want to communicate that the bad things like this global emergency, sometimes can teach us really important things, things that can change our life forever, and for me, this is the case.
Also, a few days ago, I read an article that talks the same topic that I have spoken in this post, and it's a good complement for my ideas, if you want to read it.

Widespread disease outbreaks have the potential to shock societies into new ways of living.

This article is part of a series on resilience in troubled times - what we can learn about it from history and personal experiences.
Five years ago, I decided to write a novel set in the aftermath of a terrible pandemic.

The novel was an alternate history, a revisionist Western set in the 19th century, and I ended up doing copious research on everything from cattle brands to midwifery. But I'm somewhat embarrassed to say now that my research on public health disasters was relatively slight. Essentially, I pulled up a list of flu outbreaks, picked one that best suited my plot ( an 1830 pandemic that may have begun in China), and started writing.

But as I finished the book, its events collided with the present. I was working through copy-edits in March 2020 when New York City, where I live, began to shut down. Suddenly I had a lot of time, and a lot of motivation, to consider what I had gotten right and wrong about the devastation wrought by disease on a society.

In many ways, my imagination had strayed far from reality. For one thing, no known pandemic has ever been as deadly as the one I wrote about, which kills 90 percent of the United States population. But I had one instinct that turned out to be right: that pandemics have the potential to shock societies into new ways of living. The Black Death, for example, led to the end of serfdom and the rise of the middle class in England.

But a disease outbreak can also cause governments to double down on repression and bigotry, as when the United States scapegoated Asian-Americans during 19th-century plague epidemics.

History can't tell American policymakers and activists exactly how to respond to Covid-19 - more often, it offers an example of what not to do. Still, outbreaks in 20th-century South Africa, medieval England, ancient Rome and more can offer some lessons for those working to heal the damage of Covid and forge a more just society in its wake.

Five years ago, the history of pandemics was a jumping-off point for me - an inspiration, little more. Now it's something more urgent: an example of what we can dare to hope for in these dark times, as well as what awaits us if we fail to act. Here are some lessons learned.

The Black Death, a pandemic caused by the bacterium Yersinia pestis that spread across Asia, Africa and Europe beginning in 1346, was "without question the most catastrophic health crisis in recorded history," Mark Bailey, a historian and the author of "After the Black Death: Economy, Society, and the Law in Fourteenth-Century England," said in an interview. In England, it killed around 50 percent of the population in 1348 and 1349; in Europe as a whole, estimates range from 30 to 60 percent. The sheer scale of mortality was an enormous shock, though its effects went far beyond that. As Monica Green, a historian of medicine who specializes in medieval Europe, put it, "Who will bring in the harvest if half the people are gone?"

Different societies responded in different ways. In many parts of northwestern Europe, such as Britain and what is now the Netherlands, the sudden death of a huge share of working people meant it was easier for the survivors to get work and acquire land. "You get an increase in wealth per head and a reduction in wealth inequality," Mr. Bailey explained. Economically, at least, "ordinary people are better off."

The reverse was true in much of eastern Europe, where lords consolidated their power over the now-scarce peasantry to reimpose serfdom, forcing them to work the land on terms favorable to landowners. There, inequality flatlined or actually increased in the wake of the plague.

There are many competing explanations for the split, but one possibility is that "the Black Death tends to accelerate existing trends," like a movement toward a less feudal, more consumer-based economy in northern Europe, Mr. Bailey said. But that region didn't magically become a bastion of equality post-plague - the English government imposed wage caps in the mid-14th century to keep pay from going too high. The result was widespread unrest, culminating in the Peasants' Revolt of 1381, which brought together people of a wide variety of social backgrounds in an expression of "pent-up frustration" at government mismanagement of the economy, Mr. Bailey said.

Over all, if "resilience in a pandemic is coping," he continued, "economic and social resilience subsequently is adapting." The modern lesson: "Adapting to the new reality, the new paradigm, the new opportunities, is key."

The move toward greater economic equality in England post-plague may have been a bit of an outlier - throughout history, epidemics have tended to intensify existing social inequities.

In 1901, for example, when an epidemic of the plague hit South Africa, "thousands of Black South Africans were forcibly removed from Cape Town under the assumption that their free movement was having an effect on the spread of plague within the city," said Alexandre White, a professor of sociology and the history of medicine whose work focuses on pandemic response. That expulsion laid the groundwork for the racial segregation of the apartheid era.

The United States, too, has a history of discriminatory policy during epidemics, including the targeting of Asian-American communities during early 19th- and early 20th-century plague outbreaks in Hawaii and San Francisco, and the sluggish federal response to the H.I.V. epidemic when it appeared to affect primarily L.G.B.T.Q. Americans, Mr. White said. Such decisions have ended up not only widening inequality but also hampering efforts to fight disease - ignoring H.I.V., for example, allowed it to spread throughout the population.

And now, the United States faces a pandemic that has disproportionately sickened and killed Americans of color, who are overrepresented in the essential work force yet less likely to have access to medical care. As federal and state governments manage the vaccine rollout, access to testing and treatment, and economic relief packages, it's crucial to learn from the past and target policies specifically at reducing the racial and economic inequalities that made the pandemic so devastating in the first place.

"If the effects of racism and effects of xenophobia were less systemic within our society, we would likely see fewer deaths as a result of Covid-19," Mr. White said. "Bigotry is fundamentally bad for public health."

Even as pandemics have often re-entrenched old prejudices and forms of marginalization, they've also often given rise to something new, especially when it comes to art, culture and entertainment.

Ancient Rome, for example, was tormented by epidemics, with one occurring every 15 to 20 years for portions of the fourth, third and second centuries B.C., said Caroline Wazer, a writer and editor who completed a dissertation on Roman public health. At the time, the primary public-health response was a religious one, with Romans experimenting with new rites and even new gods in an attempt to stop the spread of illness. In one case, Ms. Wazer said, with an epidemic dragging on for three years and the public increasingly agitated, the Senate adopted a strange, new ritual from northern Italy: "they bring in actors to perform onstage." According to the Roman historian Livy, "this is how the Romans get theater," Ms. Wazer said, though that fact has been debated.

A spiritual response to disease brought cultural change to 14th-century England, too. Recalling the mass graves of the Black Death, Britons feared dying without a Christian burial and spending eternity in purgatory, Mr. Bailey said. So they began to form guilds, small religious groups that essentially functioned as "burial insurance clubs," raising money to give members the proper treatment after death.

These guilds hosted parties and other events, and over time there was concern "about boozing of ale going on in and around the church," Mr. Bailey said. So the guilds began to build their own halls for socializing. Then, during the Reformation in the 16th century, the guilds were dissolved, and the halls became something new: pubs.

Indeed, historians have argued that the rise in consumerism and the wealth of ordinary people following the Black Death paved the way for the pub culture for which England remains known today.

It would be flippant to call such cultural innovations a "silver lining" of pandemics - after all, plenty of new art forms and social venues have emerged without the catalyst of mass death. It is worth remembering, though, that in the wake of even the most devastating public health disasters, human social life and creativity have re-emerged in new and unexpected ways.

"Pandemics are both catastrophes and opportunities," Mr. Bailey told me. And in the coming years, the world will face the tragic opportunity of rebuilding after Covid-19 - and if we learn the lessons of history, we may be able to do so in a way that's more fair, more inclusive, and even more joyful than the past we've been forced to leave behind.

I can say so much about the things that i have learnt from the experiences from the past year. For example, with the pandemic I have learnt how to play guitar, I'm not good yet but its confortable to me know the basic things.
In my view, this pandemic times have changed our lives, in many ways, especially, it has changed our form to see life, an the meaning of it.

One of my others hobbies that I learnt during the pandemic is the craft brewery. When life was normal, I took a craft beer course at university where I learnt the basics of making my own beer. Back then I made some attempts and got regular results. But when the quarantine started, I got much more into the subject and I started studying a lot on my own and made many more attempts. The result of that was low cost and very good quality craft beer for my family and neighbors.

Despite having square eyes from class, I still wanted to see my friends. That made us explore the emerging world of virtual society. Playing games through Zoom or just hanging out with my friends was the new way to socialize. It was difficult and exhausting, so social time was partly replaced by family time or other hobbies, so I had to optimize time to keep in touch only with my close friends and my girlfriend. That way my social range was strongly reduced

At the beginning of the pandemic, my grandfather gave us 6 chicks from his farm. So we built a little hen-house in the backyard where fortunately we had some extra space. Taking care of the chickens became one of my main hobbies from quarantine. We have been building a bigger hen-house that has some structures and spaces to give them more comfort. Also, I started trading roosters with some neighbors to give more variety to the flock. At the moment we have 13 and they provide us daily with fresh eggs and time to time with tasty meat.

The first thing that affected me of the new life was the virtual classes. Although we had this experience during the last months of 2019, this time it was more demanding because we were just starting and the teachers wanted to go though all the syllabus of their courses, unlike the other time that they had wanted to finish quickly.
I have to admit that this was difficult for everyone, not only the students, and we all learnt a lot of this stage.

When all of this started I was shocked, I was on vacations when I first heard something about the virus but it looked like something far away. Suddenly the virus came and from one week to another and it changed all about our life. Although I was expecting an online academic semester because of the manifestations, I didn't imagine that all our routines and relationships would be affected by the social distancing.
