To do well on this assignment, you need to make new observations—just for this paper, during the time frame of the assignment. You need to go out in person and make detailed observations of behavior now. The pandemic is not over—there are still people wearing masks, social distancing etc to protect themselves and others. Some of what you remember—what you observed in the past—can be used for comparison with current behavior—what you observe now, today or tomorrow or before the paper is due.
this needs to be written as if you were doing research not in the past tense has to be written in the now as if you were observing pandemic behavior
