Relationships: Often Challenging But As Humans We Need Them
During the COVID era and even up to the current time, there has been a fragmentation of relationships involving families, friends and doctors. There were instances of parents not talking to their children or the dissolution of friendships. Even doctors got in, scolding patients for not taking the vaccine and refusing to render care.

Parents with their children
Grandparents and grandkids
The work environment
Doctor and patient
People and pets
Friends
Politicians and their constituents
