Up to 40% of Americans have some sort of flying anxiety, from fearing a plane crash to worries about close contact with others. Or, like me, they don’t want to be stuck. Still, others dread navigating the airport, worrying their valuables might be lost or that they could encounter an issue with security doubting their intentions. Flying anxiety has become such an issue that some airlines like British Airways even offer courses, such as their “Flying with Confidence” one-day class, to get you back in the air.

After the global pandemic caused by the Coronavirus is finally over, taking away pain, suffering and many sacrifices, I don’t want us to go back to living in the same way we did before. This horrible situation, in the long run, could turn into an opportunity to reflect on ourselves, on the relationship we have with the people around us, on our future.

Aches and pains, sore throat, fever – although they may feel similar to those suffering from their symptoms, the novel coronavirus is not the same as the seasonal flu, experts stressed Wednesday. COVID-19, the illness caused by coronavirus, proves deadly in around 3.5 percent of confirmed cases.
