I'm writing an article for USA Today about the race for a
COVID-19 vaccine. Although I will be profiling companies that
are working toward this end, I would also like to interview one
or two vaccine experts who can offer history and context to help
my readers understand why a vaccine is so important, why it's so
challenging to create one, and what a successful vaccine might
ultimately look like. This expert should not be from a pharma
company that's working on a vaccine, but rather someone who is
involved in academia, clinical practice and/or health care
policy. In other words: an objective third-party. (Note: Listed
deadline is deadline for receiving pitches; interviews will take

Hello. My name is Erik Martin, and I am a reporter for Real

interview real estate agents, lenders, architects, housing

Buyer preferences have changed due to coronavirus: Here's why.
Per a Homes.com survey
(https://press.homes.com/covid-19-impacts-homebuyer-preferences-but-not-budgets-homes-com-survey/)
of over 1,000 consumers who have purchased a home during the
coronavirus outbreak or plan to purchase before the end of the
year, over 40% of respondents have changed the features they
want in a home because of COVID-19, including adding a home
office (30%), larger square footage (27%), enclosed backyard
(27%) and/or closed floor plan (15%) to their wish list. These
shifts may reflect the realities of today's work-from-home and
e-learning needs. This article will explore why and how
homebuyer preferences have changed since the start of the
pandemic and the home features/amenities they are most valuing
today. I can accept written responses (full-sentences that I can

backyard, etc.)? 4. What advice/recommendations would you
suggest to homeowners looking to remodel right now or home
shoppers searching for a home, especially regarding short-term
and long-term needs related to the coronavirus and other
factors? 5. Do you believe buyer preferences will change again
dramatically once the pandemic has subsided and we've returned
to some kind of normalcy? Or do you believe that many of these
trends indicated in the study are here to stay for the
indefinite future? 6. Any other thoughts, tips or suggestions on
this topic? 7. What is your full name, title, company,
city/state location, and email address?

Query:
Following my coverage of crisis fatigue, guilt and many other
uncomfortable feelings in the age of this pandemic, I'm writing
a piece for NBC NEWS/TODAY.com about becoming desensitized to
mass death. Would you have a PHD PSYCH source who would like to
lend exclusive comments? my deadline is Thursday 1pm EST.
Here are some questions I am looking for NEUROSCIENTISTS and
PSYCHOLOGISTS to answer.
-Are you seeing clients worried they are becoming "desensitized"
to death? What trends are you observing around this?
-How come we were so upset by say, 50 deaths due to Covid-19 and
now we're at practically 200k and the feeling is WEIRD? It's not
always "upset" feeling per se, more like dead inside or terror?
It's just very weird, I feel.
-Why is becoming desensitized to death, or feeling like you are,
possibly a good thing? Or at least, a natural thing?
-The death toll is so frightening. Is the fright making us turn
off?
-How do we find empathy and understanding within ourselves
without caving? Or rather, how can we think about this death
toll without succumbing to terror?
-Are there things we can do to feel like we're perhaps
recognizing the dead? Like gestures of mourning that help set us
free a little bit? (Looking for 5-8 USEFUL TIPS TO FEEL BETTER!)
Thank you thank you. Please please please confirm your quotes
are exclusive to NBC News! And please share your pronoun and
website and any other details I need to know about your title!
