I Remember When

I Remember When Synopsis

The year 2020 will be remembered as the year in which a deadly viral pandemic known as Covid-19 cast its dark shadow over the world. The impact of this invisible threat affected the daily lives of every country, class, culture and community. Schools and colleges were closed for long periods, shops and stores experienced queues not seen since times of war, many social amenities and places of worship were closed completely. Footballers and other sports stars played in front of empty stadiums, streets and roads were eerily empty, theatres, restaurants and workplaces were bolted up and strange words such as furlough, face-covering, Skype and Zoom suddenly entered everybody's vocabulary. One of the groups affected most profoundly by the 2020 pandemic were older people, mainly because they were identified as being the most vulnerable to the medical and physical symptoms of this fearful disease.
