This time, not a pandemic that threatens lives, but one that disrupts our social structures: the #followmetoo virus. The phenomenon has led people to follow each other not only online but now in the physical world as well \u2013 and surprisingly, they love it.<\/p>\n<p>Worldwide you see groups of people walking one after the other: those who have an appetite to follow and those who would like to be followed.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div><div class=\"et_pb_toggle et_pb_module et_d4_element et_pb_accordion_item et_pb_accordion_item_1  et_pb_toggle_close\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<h5 class=\"et_pb_toggle_title\">The followers and the followed<\/h5>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"et_pb_toggle_content clearfix\"><p>On an ordinary Tuesday morning in Amsterdam, Sara walks along the Prinsengracht. She notices that Jan, a complete stranger, is walking a few meters behind her. Jan feels an inexplicable urge to follow Sara and Sara, in turn, enjoys the attention.<\/p>\n<p>\"Hey, are you following me?\" asks Sara.<\/p>\n<p>\"Yes, and I have to say, it feels good,\" Jan replies.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div><div class=\"et_pb_toggle et_pb_module et_d4_element et_pb_accordion_item et_pb_accordion_item_2  et_pb_toggle_close\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<h5 class=\"et_pb_toggle_title\">Science faces a conundrum<\/h5>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"et_pb_toggle_content clearfix\"><p>Scientists are perplexed.
