Assignment:

2. In what ways did governments act in ways that were unprecedented or at least unusual in the context of normal life?
Please answer the following question:
Provide one example of the use of technology, such as social media or an app, that emphasized the public good and one that emphasized individual liberties. For each example, explain your reasoning in one sentence.
Early in the pandemic, many cities enacted changes to public space, used buildings flexibly to create treatment and other health-related facilities, improved ventilation in buildings, etc. Additionally, many people worked remotely, calling into question the need for so much physical office and other workspaces in cities.
In the 'post-COVID' world, to what extent have any of these changes become more permanent? Please use examples from the city in which you live or a city that you are familiar with.
