returning to normal

[GDragon]

there's a new narrative emerging that life will never return to normal after the coronavirus pandemic:

what do you think---are entire industries about to disappear because of the pandemic? will some aspects of the economy and general life irreversibly change after this?

Its kind of true. A few months ago I thought all will be back to normal next year. However, after months of news and research about this virus, I accepted the fact that things will never be the same after this. Patients are still reinfected after being cured from the virus. They may find the vaccine in the future but the virus will always be with us. Efforts needed to make it disappear. We won't be calm inside a crowded place anymore. We will always think that we are prone to the virus even having the vaccine.  Some will still be infected by it, specially to those place that aren't reach by the health care system of the country. Economy will still slowly cripple to be back to normal. Debts of my country will be paid by the generations to come.

And just today, even the WHO says that maybe COVID will never go away. I wish they will be wrong.

Coronavirus may never go away, World Health Organization warns

I've already read this news and it really makes me sad, I could not help to think that the world that we are walking on will never be the same anymore. Imagine going out wearing a fully geared protection limiting you from other activities. This adds to the fact that there will be new norms in the society, this virus might just be an upgraded pneumonia that will be a common sick, it's frightening at all. Talking about the economy, it will surely decline, maybe not now as we are still on higher grounds above this virus but once it gets into more severe then it will go down.

WHO already mention in order to get vaccine it will take more than one year, so meanwhile, we might see huge losses to governments because they are losing the lives of the people, in order to recover the economic growth it will take some time. As of now, nothing is in our hands because based on the government's decision we have to move.

That's sad but that is the reality, the virus spread may reduce due to the measures of the government like the lock down, but it will heavily affect the economy as business will be limited, usually those who attract big crowd are the ones making big money, but with the virus, they can't operate for awhile until the vaccine is created.

Now there is no choice of the government because, in order to control virus spreading, the government should take strict actions about the lockdown. Of course, it will affect economic growth, but there is no choice, We might see a huge recession in the coming days because many people will surely lose their jobs. This makes the economic growth of the countries will be worst.

It's better to choose life than trying to save your economy, government needs to strictly implement safety measures, there are lots of countries who are adding to the list of infected some who thinks that the virus was contained are now suffering more. Best to continue physical distancing and make sure that the people will continue avoiding social gatherings.

Nothing like avoiding contact for now and maintaining social distance. This will only save us for the time begin else we all never know when this virus may enter and we may also be part of it. In order to avoid we ourselves have to take this step irrespective if government says or no now. Its our life and we have to ensure the safety of it.

This only shows how this pandemic affects the whole world. We may never be the same as we are before, but at least we are learning because of this experience. What we need to do right now is to fight this pandemic and continue to move forward. Even if our economy will fall, as long as we stay safe and in good health, I think that would be the most important for now. Once this was done, then that is when we can think of solutions to the problem with the economy.

Its gonna be back, we'll return to normal just like the old days its just a matter of time.  We already have seen companies resuming their business operation, this will gradually happen just like the sports events that are now going to be held despite the virus.

It would be funny if the government will be forced to find solutions because criminals find using a mask useful to hide in committing crimes in broad daylight.

[Cootie]

I think it will be going back to normal. But for certain period of time. It just like there is some force that are limiting our development, blocking our normal routine, making us to progress slowly. But if this force, the virus is getting rid off by vaccine and gone, then the thing keeps us from our norms is gone also. It's gonna be easy, but things will going back to normal, but slowly, maybe for a long period of time until it goes to the days before coronavirus and improve even more. That's my take.

[raidarksword]

The corona virus made a really scare towards us and that's not gonna be good way once these is all over and mean over when we can developed a cure for the virus. I would say a new normal life is inevitable because people are now more built with the anxiety with the surroundings on how not to get infected with the virus when we are outside of our homes. A strict rules should be implemented in order to avoid direct contacts with people by doing social distancing each individuals and always take proper hygiene at all times.

Now there is no choice of the government because, in order to control virus spreading, the government should take strict actions about the lockdown. Of course, it will affect economic growth, but there is no choice, We might see a huge recession in the coming days because many people will surely lose their jobs. This makes the economic growth of the countries will be worst.

Strict rules thats really needed so we should abide and listen to what they have to say because its for our own welfare. We cant go back to our normal lives if the virus didnt vanish and if there's no vaccine available to cure the infected. Everything that is happening is just temporary I just hope it wont last longer than expected because many of us are struggling to survive everyday especially those who dont have savings to buy goods and necessities.

Sadly this is opposite to what had happen today here in our country since today is the first day of returning people to work (but only limited company and half volume of regular employee)
What happened is people in the road almost back to normal as if there are no risk of virus infection and i hate seeing them that way.

I think it will be going back to normal. But for certain period of time.

Of course everything will back to normal but the question is how long will it take and how many needs to suffer before this becomes reality?
Look at the economy and you will feel what we are facing this whole year and the next.

[Viscore]

A strict rules should be implemented in order to avoid direct contacts with people by doing social distancing each individuals and always take proper hygiene at all times.

That's really a big challenge on how the government will be able to effectively impose it.
As of now, there has been news from China that the 2nd wave of covid-19 has already begin penetrating again, so people needs to be more careful.

Greediness of money is bad when the health of the people will be put at risk again.
Well, if China had the cure, this should not be a problem.

[figmentofmyass]

some signs are emerging that everything is going back to normal.

exhibit #1, mannequins in restaurants to make you feel less awkward about the lack of patrons:



exhibit #2, wearing giant inner tubes to physically distance at bars:



exhibit #3, TV networks injecting fake crowd noise and virtual crowds, to make sports feel more genuine:



i'm so glad things are finally returning to normal!

strongly agree that all will end in a certain time is not possible quickly, because cooperation between countries is needed so that the pandemic can be completed immediately.
Although drugs and vaccines may take time, transmission rates can be prevented by known methods, but only what level of discipline is needed for this.
recovery certainly takes time but will be able to be overcome properly after the drugs and vaccines are obtained and returned to normal.

>life after bubonic plague will never be the same again
>life after Spaniard will never be the same again
>life after swine flu will never be the same again
>life after avian flu will never be the same again
>life after covid will never be the same
Don't you find some mental gymnastics here to increase the degree of hysteria and try to prove something to someone who is not clear?
They will find a fully working vaccine and it will all be over. It is not the first time that humanity has faced global epidemics but it has never been with such a highly developed medicine. Don't be afraid and everything will be fine.

[The cure]

Yes, I think everything will be back to normal but it takes more time to recover all damages that pandemic brought to us. After the vaccine will be discovered and distributed by the government, then slowly we bring back the things we used to do before the pandemic come. 

[geyayy]

Surely it will really take a lot of time and effort. First, is the creation of the vaccine, it has been months since the pandemic has started and no vaccine has been made. Second, if vaccines are to be made, all governments shiould strictly make rules that will benefit even the poorest of the poors, in the case in our country, only the officials benefits the most even for the testings, they can't hear the cry for help of their men. I think even if the pandemics is gone, our normal routines during the pandemic will be our new normal. Recovering from the damage will last longer as they suggested.

[tinyblue]

I think that by the habits built with social distancing will help out with people's health. Less people will get sick and miss work, go into debt, etc. And other things will eventually bounce back.

[cosmofly]

I feel that the media is increasingly messing things up. Our people have experienced a lot of pandemics and everything is normal and continues to grow after the pandemic is under control. But there are so many negative components of society that push all thoughts too far. To calm your thoughts and make you happy, eliminate negative posts like these. it's all ridiculous thoughts and writers who like to exaggerate things.

[Negotiation]

Negative thoughts always push us to the bad side This requires believing in yourself and thinking positively You have to be a little careful to avoid the virus I can easily prevent this virus if I follow the precautions. However, the media often gives wrong information in which case you have to think about staying healthy and take the advice of a doctor Everything will return to normal very soon.

[JoMarrah Iarim Dan]

A strict rules should be implemented in order to avoid direct contacts with people by doing social distancing each individuals and always take proper hygiene at all times.

This will be the normal if this pandemic ends or even now in that we are under GCQ and the rules are not that strict in going outside compare in ECQ, you will observe that social distancing and putting alcohols become the normal thing. People become too conscious everytime they are outside and having contact with pther people or even just touching money given by other person like for example change from something you buy.

[hahay]

As is happening now about 'new normal' and I think the policy only applies for the next few periods because when the vaccine has succeeded and then the virus is completely gone, then life will slowly return to normal because it is very unlikely to live with This 'new normal' will last forever and how can the economy be fully recovered if everything is still difficult, at least a big change will definitely be ahead and not something that makes life difficult but will be easier and fully recover.

indeed "new normal" is one way so that the economy does not collapse too. but this is susceptible to greater waves of pandemic because there are still many people who ignore the protocol that has been arranged, so that transmission does not occur again. indeed only drugs and vaccines will be able to solve problems quickly and normal life can go on as before without fearing a sense of transmission.
