"In public health, social distancing, also called physical distancing,[2][3][4] is a set of non-pharmaceutical interventions or measures intended to prevent the spread of a contagious disease by maintaining a physical distance between people and reducing the number of times people come into close contact with each other.[2][5] It usually involves keeping a certain distance from others (the distance specified differs from country to country and can change with time) and avoiding gathering together in larger groups.[6][7]"

Masked Normality: Life in Cork One Year After COVID-19

A year after COVID-19 hit Irish shores and people were still being extra careful, even wearing masks outside where there was little risk of infection.

Better to be safe than sorry.

Here we are in 2026, and people are still denying that COVID-19 was a problem, while there’s a screenshot going around of a tweet by an “MD” who predicted that everyone who got the vaccine would be dead by the end of 2025. We’re still around. LOL.

Ein Film, aus einer anderen Zeit. Ist dieser Thriller doch ein fast historisches Dokument, entstanden unter den Covid-Lockdowns und ein Zeugnis darüber, wie der Kulturbetrieb sich doch noch irgendwie am Leben festgehalten hat. Juliette Binoche und Morgan Freeman in einem klassischen Trucker-Film, der alles andere als konventionell produziert wurde. (ZDFneo, Wh)
