Togetherness, Construction, Reinvention. During the first months of 2020 the Covid-19 pandemic, also known as the &#8220;Coronavirus&#8221; or in some countries, just plain &#8220;Corona&#8221;, brought all these emotions, and more, to the fore. Suddenly, millions of people throughout the world found themselves sheltering at home, in quarantine, under lockdown, in isolation.
