I don't meet new people often because of the pandemic, actually. I used to meet new people at university, but now I'm having just online classes.

In basically, my country controlled the pandemic for now. So I can go out to work, therefore I can meet new people every day.

The pandemic has changed lives. I meet new people hardly ever. Because I study online and rarely go anywhere.

I often meet new people at my job. When I need to evaluate a platform, I work with the provider (local and external) for 2 or 3 months. We organize proofs of concept for all platforms. I really know a lot of people on these projects. These projects are usually every 6 months.
