Please read the above short interview with a medical ethicist at the University of Arizona and reflect upon the following questions in an essay about 500 words.

You should submit your essay in the personal reflection journal #6 folder on d2l by Thursday, Apr 16, 11:59 pm.

During the pandemic of Covid-19 we are all advised to stay home, which can have distressing effects on our emotional, physical and mental health. (1) How are you dealing with this situation? (2) What are your biggest challenges? (3) Are there new habits that you like and could imagine keeping on doing once the crisis is over? (4) What do you think are reasons for people to not exercise social distancing (except of those that do not have a choice, e.g. health professional)? (5) Do you have any suggestions how I could do things better with remote teaching? I highly appreciate your constructive feedback.

This reflection is by no means to control you! I simply care about how you are doing in this situation and how you can after all have a good learning experience.
