The COVID-19 pandemic continues to severely affect people all over the world. Since March, we've continually changed the way we live our lives in an attempt to halt the spread of the virus and keep it contained. Many people still work from home as opposed to the office, most schools and universities now offer classes online instead of in a classroom, and home delivery of groceries and medications is now standard across so many households.
