3. INDIVIDUAL RESET
Like for macro and micro effects, the pandemic will have
profound and diverse consequences for all of us as individuals.
For many, it has already been life-shattering. To date, COVID-19
has forced a majority of people the world over to self-isolate from
families and friends, has thrown into complete disarray personal
and professional plans, and has deeply undermined their sense of
economic and sometimes psychological and physical security. We
have all been reminded of our innate human fragility, our frailties
and our flaws. This realization combined with the stress
engendered by the lockdowns and the concurrent deep sense of
uncertainty about what is coming next could, albeit surreptitiously,
change us and the way we relate to other people and to our world.
For some, what starts as a change may end up as an individual
reset.
