Introduction to "Life After COVID-19"

In this COVID-19 update episode of the Lifestyle, Travel & Technology podcast, the hosts Alexander, Garry & Nikki discuss what life could look like after the pandemic, after the Corona virus (if it even will ever disappear). They ponder how life has already changed for themselves and how much more it could change.

Since nobody knows for certain how life will be after lock-downs have been lifted and travel has resumed, the hosts sourced popular questions from various media outlets and answered them with their opinions on how it could turn out. They cover topics related to tech, traffic/transport, airplane traveling and costs, pollution (green recovery vs fossil fuel frenzy), the overlooked public health sector and simply global trade and global relations.

They also discuss some of the fake news circulating the web at the moment that has many people believing in them!
