Life has changed drastically as a result of COVID-19. It’s crazy to think about what life was just a month ago. Now, we have to contemplate before leaving the house or touching elbows instead of embracing each other just to ensure that we’re not potentially exposing ourselves to anything.<\/p>\n

I wonder if she ever saw a pandemic like the one we’re experiencing and what how her encounter would have differed as a result of living in a period when technology was not as advanced while living in Nigeria.<\/p>\n
