BBC World Service - World of Wisdom, Social Distance

The pandemic has changed many of the ways we connect socially with others

The pandemic has changed many of the ways we connect socially with others. Susanna from Italy asks Gary Zukav how she can deal with the deep disorientation this has led to.

The pandemic has meant stopping so many of the everyday things we used to do, including not hugging and kissing others. For Susanna from Italy, not being able to connect with people socially in the way she is used to has led to a deep disorientation. Gary Zukav gives his perspective that it is not the pandemic that has led to her feeling more isolated from others, but rather it is fear of what is different. 

Presented by the BBC's Sana Safi.

Produced by Charlie Taylor and Ruth Edwards.
