Covid Became a Pandemic 4 Years Ago. How Does Your Life Look Now?

Monday marks four years since the World Health Organization declared Covid a pandemic. Since then, millions of people around the world have died from the virus, and today, the persistent impact of long Covid is being studied and the latest variant to become dominant, JN.1, continues to spread in the United States.

Though the W.H.O. dropped its global health emergency designation in May 2023, life for many people continues to look very different now than it did before March 2020, when most of the world first went into lockdown to try to halt the virus’s spread.

We want to hear from you about your life. Do any new considerations shape your daily routine, or your decisions regarding friends and family? Has Covid changed your overall outlook?
