    COVID-19 has made people think harder about their relationship with nature. It has also raised questions about urban (城市的) lifestyles. The sharing economy (共享经济), working in open offices, living in crowded apartments and the food industry’s use of reusable products have made the perfect storm for a pandemic (大流行). 

    Although the sharing economy might be good – it’s cheaper to rent than to own – sharing spaces and objects are great ways to spread the virus. How does one do “social distancing (和他人保持安全距离)” when they are expected to share cars, bikes, apartments and even the same offices?

     The trend (趋势) of using open offices, which can save space, is working against us.  In this type of office, workers don’t have their own desk – everything is shared. Sometimes, computers and chairs are also shared, which is not hygienic (卫生的). Fortunately, more workers are working from home during the pandemic, but that won’t last forever. 

    Reusability (循环利用) is a common practice in the restaurant industry. Reusable cups and chopsticks are often used. Unfortunately, reusable products increase the chance of spreading disease. For example, Starbucks recently stopped refilling (重新装满) customers’ reusable cups in order to stop the spread of the virus. 

    People like to be social. But the virus has made this more dangerous. We have to be careful about how we interact (交往) with others for now. Perhaps we need to rethink about our lifestyles to reduce the spread of future pandemics.
