Staying safe and informed should be our priority

It is safe to argue that Covid-19 is just about the biggest disruption, probably only comparable to the World Wars. Thanks to it, we are together but separated by social distance, we now work and meet loved ones virtually while we discover new passions and talents as we adjust to the new world order. 

The necessity of social media, especially at these moments of limited mobility, cannot be gain-said, as a medium to connect, socialise and pursue a common agenda. Social media’s importance as a source of information has been reinforced, even though its soft-underbelly as a purveyor of misinformation has also been exposed.
