How will be travelling after covid-19 ?

When we think about spaces and exchanges, the first think that comes to our minds is travelling, as in other aspects of our lives travelling won't be the same after all what happened, but how different will it be ? First of all people will prefer to travel by train instead of using airplane, because of a lot of reasons, the first one, because is cheaper, another reason is that a lot of countries have a good train system, for example european countries, we could easily go in train from Madrid to Moscu or from Paris to Istaambul.

These particles get exhaled in a fine mist when an infected person talks or breathes, and then can get easily inhaled by other people. Larger particles (over 5 micrometers) are referred to as  respiratory droplets  or simply  droplets , and are expelled when coughing or sneezing. Droplets fall to the ground within 3–6 feet (1–2 meters), while  aerosols  can remain in the air longer and spread farther. If an infectious agent becomes suspended in the air in tiny particles, it is said to be  aerosolized . The spread of a disease through the air can be called  aerosol transmission  or  airborne  transmission . The virus causing COVID-19 is known to s

VIRTUAL AND REAL SPACES: TWO CARTOONS

Cartoon 1: Ace computers, by Harvey Schwadron Cartoon 2: Working from home, by Mark Dubovsky In the world of today we depend more and more of the technologies, of the internet, definetely on virtual spaces, but we can´t forgot the real world because that is our nature as human beings, because even if we pass the day in front of screens I'm sure that everyone in this planet like to see pictures of landscapes or of animals so How far is the boundary between real and virtual spaces becoming increasingly blurred nowadays ? Cartoon 1 : On this cartoon we can see a man walking on the street he might be going working we could suppose because he has a binder. At the back we can see a car which could make us think that we are in a city. Behind the car we see buildings and the sun so we know we are in the day. At the left side of the cartoon we can see a store, probably a store of computers in which they give an alternative to normal tourism : The eco-tourism. When we think about
