Sociologists study how pandemic affects individual, family, community and institutions. How they respond and why they respond differently. Who plays a critical role in the sourcing of protective gears in your family? What kinds of pandemic related information are you getting from your social media? Why are you staring at someone walking without a mask on the street? Who is more likely to get infected, identified and treated with the disease? Is community better organized also suffer less and recover sooner? Can universal health care and basic income welfare effectively address the pandemic and its negative consequences? The sociological imagination helps you to understand the pandemic from your daily life examples.
