  Everything felt surreal when the pandemic began. The number of positive cases has increased, together with the high death toll and the full hospitals, with no more critical-care beds.  Social media are broadcasting news related to COVID-19 around all the time. This is exhausting and harms not only our emotions but our mental health as well. There's much panic, leaving us to feel like our lives have been reprogrammed. Most schools and universities around the world have closed to contain the spread of the virus as well as other establishments, including restaurants, bars, which are shut or temporarily closed. Transport and border restrictions are also increasingly apparent.  In our work environments, we have also experienced in hand sudden and drastic changes. With people working from home on an unprecedented scale, the increased use of digital platforms maintains activity and communication, and employees request leave not just for sickness but also for caring nee...
