How will COVID-19 change our everyday lives?

Question

Do you believe the COVID-19 pandemic will make long-term changes to our everyday lives even after we’re no longer seeing new cases?
What will change? What will our new ‘normal’ look like? Or do you think everything will go back to being exactly the way it was before the pandemic?

Accepted Answer

My hope is that it will lead to universal healthcare, permanent housing for the homeless, and increased hygiene standards. 
My fear is that it will lead to a global depression and serious widening of the wealth gap. 
Either way, I suspect a lot more jobs will become home based, now that we know it can be done.

Answer

I think, at least for a while, people will be more aware of personal space in public places. The fear of getting too close to a stranger and possible catching something won’t go away over night. 
I think many things will go back to normal pretty quick.

Answer

Everything will be different from here on out. 
They dumped money they said they didn’t have. Landlords are proving how evil they are. Political parties are coming together for the most part— we still have some dumb blind trolls & bots in the midst but

Answer

I hope so.  I hope hospitals will have better support.  It’s sad to me that we had months of seeing what was happening in China and didn’t get better ready.  
I hope people will be actually washing their hands.  I wash mine all the time. Hell my two year old knows how to wash his hands right.  We help but he knows.  
But reality is it most likely will not change much. ￼￼

Answer

Yes it will change how things are. We just don’t know the full extent and what will change.

Answer

I’ve been taking basic hygiene to a whole new level. I’m more aware of what I touch, wash my hands more throughout the day. Maybe people continue this and we’ll see less cases of the flu during the flu season in the future. Hopefully. And maybe people will take vaccines more seriously too!

Answer

Personal space and knowing your limits when you start to feel under the weather. Or even something like if you suspect you could have come in contact with someone who was sick, but you’re not showing any symptoms, that you could unknowingly be spreading something. 🤷🏻‍♀️ I would hope for some more vaccines awareness too once one is readily available.

Answer

I think it’s the beginning of another massive recession. Someday we’ll read in history books that the start of the 2020 recession was caused by covid-19. It showed how horrible the United States is at dealing with disasters, and will highlight how horrible the late Donald trump was at leadership. We will read all about how hundreds of thousands of people went into debt  because they caught the virus and the treatment wasn’t covered, and many people did not follow social distancing rules. People ended up on the streets because they lost their jobs for months and we still had to pay rent. Maybe in the future we will have universal healthcare and the history books will talk about how terrible the healthcare system was and how many people died and suffered from it. Amazon and Cvs and other big companies are hiring restaurant workers and small business workers right now. Many small businesses will eventually close and the government will continue to bail out big business. Everyone besides billionaires will suffer. In 10 years people will be sad but in 20 they will laugh at the end of the right’s rule on the US

Answer

I don’t think people will get over the widespread shortages of basic necessities and a large number of people will begin to maintain stockpiles in their homes. I think the fear of other people and what germs they may have will stick around for a long time. I see more germaphobia in the world in general. I also worry about how long it will take for the economy to recover.

Answer

Honestly I don't think we're immune to it I think we're just going to keep getting it over and over again! I don't think anything's ever going to be the same
