Athena Akrami's neuroscience lab reopened last month without her. Life for the 38-year-old is a pale shadow of what it was before 17 March, the day she first experienced symptoms of the novel coronavirus. At University College London (UCL), Akrami's students probe how the brain organizes memories to support learning, but at home, she struggles to think clearly and battles joint and muscle pain. "I used to go to the gym three times a week," Akrami says. Now, "My physical activity is bed to couch, maybe couch to kitchen." Her early symptoms were textbook for COVID-19: a fever and cough, followed by shortness of breath, chest pain, and extreme fatigue. For weeks, she struggled to heal at home. But rather than ebb with time, Akrami's symptoms waxed and waned without ever going away. She's had just 3 weeks since March when her body temperature was normal.

"Design thinking is an abductive approach to complex problem solving that leverages the designer's empathetic mindset in order to understand people's unarticulated needs and identify opportunities for solutions. This is a human-centered innovation process that can be applied to a wide range of challenges: design thinking can be used to create everything from products and services to business models and processes."

The great promise of the internet was that it would bring democracies together, giving more people more access to more information, all beyond the control of any single authority.
