A lockdown journal from Catalonia

ABSTRACT

All that we are certain of today is that all is uncertain. Uncertainty has become the new normal, affecting our family lives and routines, our professional goals and activities and our relationship with local, regional and national governments. We have seen, in just a few months, how our freedom to move and associate has been challenged and restricted, or even forbidden. We lived a severe version of lockdown for over a month and a half. This article is a personal journey from the beginnings of the pandemic and how I lived it, as an individual, a mother, a professional and a citizen.
