returning to normal

[Lanatsa]

1. After quarantines/lockdowns are lifted, there will be a "new normal" where people will still practice social/physical distancing, washing hands, or wearing masks out of fear of getting infected.

Businesses will have a hard time gaining customers like theaters (as stated in the OP) and even restaurants. I've seen a video on Wuhan where a vendor is having difficulty selling even after the lockdown has been lifted.

2. After a cure is found for COVID-19, everything will go back to the "old normal". People will go back to the old ways as if the pandemic didn't happen. We've already seen this happen in the past and I don't think this will change because of COVID-19.

No one can foresee the future on what would happen after this pandemic would be resolved out,either they would change some part of their lifestyle or would completely go back to traditional ways.
It will depend because not all people do accept learning from things that they have experienced in the past but im bit sure that it would be more health conscious because we do already experienced
the hardest times on where it mainly affect our daily living routine.So in next time, we are surely be careful into those things.

Returning back to normal is not going to be easy and the same as before. The fear will remain and it might takes time before we can overcome our worries of getting infected if we expose ourselves outside.

But atleast after this, the government will realize where they were lacking when it comes to emergency situation. Many people also found out the politician that they can count on during this trying times and wont repeat the same mistakes of trusting people without concern to many.

Now this coronavirus will return to us every year, just as the flu returns to us. And we will have to adapt to the new realities of our life. All hope is for scientists who will have to find a vaccine for the coronavirus, so that by the next return everyone will have the opportunity to get a COVID-19 vaccination.

We will be able to adapt to the new realities because we have that ability. And related to the virus, even if the vaccine is not found yet, as long as we can take care of our health, and we always concern with the healthy thing, we don't have to worry because we will have a good immune that can prevent from any virus. We can protect ourselves from any virus if we have a healthy body, so there is no other reason for us to keep clean for everything around us.

The international relationship won't be the same anymore, there are nations suspecting China of hiding when the virus outbreak started, there is just some conspiracy theorem, the world over-dependent in the Chinese market may have started shifting, the PM of Japan is committed to moving production out of China. people that have job loss and savings disappeared may migrate to better nations and take up little jobs.

If we're gonna talk about normal living of people where many people think and consider money as more important thing than health of a person, well, this coronavirus pandemic will eventually change our perspective on that. Many people will now take good care of their health. Hopefully, employers will learn that the health of their employees are much important than any sales or profit they will get from their businesses. As for each country's economy, it will take a while before everything goes back to normal or maybe, some countries will develop more than other countries out there that experience a great loss during this pandemic.

I don’t know about this for sure, but movie theaters coming to an end? Hmmm, I don’t really know if this is going to happen. I do know that everyone is afraid now and they are keeping distance from one another to avoid being infected with the virus, but trust me, once this thing is over and people know for sure that this virus is no more, lol they will all get back to their normal life they used to live before.

Even right now that people are indoors, there are those that the first thing on their mind right now is that they want to go to the movie theaters. So, don’t say that those ones are coming to an end, they wouldn’t, things will still get back to where they were before all these started.

[Chrystora123]

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?

I am very sure after this "PANDEMIC" is over, then everything will change starting from the economy, work, and people's mindset..  Before this "PANDEMIC" appeared, many people did not care about their cleanliness, now many families keep hand sanitizer at home and pay more attention to the cleanliness of clothes.  All countries worst affected by this "PANDEMIC" will be stronger and better prepared in the face of bad possibilities in the future (such as war or outbreaks that may recur in the future)..

Today the whole world is experiencing an economic crisis which is caused by the rapid spread of the corona virus. Make several countries
do some policies towards its citizens, life becomes difficult. Because everyone must staying at home, this makes some people experiencing
financial difficulties. If in the end the corona virus is successfully overcome and the crisis ends, the possibility of life will not return to normal.
Several major countries will re-analyze the cooperation with China, which is the source of the crisis. And also everyone will be more concerned
with health than money after all this is over.

This pandemic will have long term effect in our economy for sure, this kind of situation are not foresee in the past and that is why most of the countries that doesn't have plan to solved this kind of problem. We should learned from this kind of crisis because human lives are matter and all of the economies are suffering. Our normal life will return like before but it will take more time because of the current change.

Even if the virus did vanish in a puff of smoke and everyone went "back to work", the behavior of billions of people and every country has been permanently changed.

Demand won't quickly come back, borders won't easily reopen, international relations won't be the same.

This is one hell of a lot worse than any previous scare if you take into account the sheer numbers its mind boggling to think what's going to be altered... entire economies, almost every lifestyles, the way we think has already changed and will continue if this persists for more than the short term we'll have irreparable but increasingly positive change to the way us as humans approach and value life, a greater concern about our solo and collective health and wellness, and a new point of reference to discuss and unite us as a global community so it won't be all bad just a little different

Communities are a source of collective strength in the real world not just in this forum and if everyone does whatever they can to minimize the impact of this then we'll get through it without too much loss whether it be economic or other

[FanatMonet]

As for the bankruptcies of entire industries, I cannot say for sure. But the fact that many enterprises from the service sector, such as hairdressers, cinemas, cafes will receive a very strong blow , there is no doubt about it. But even here, the cafe has an advantage, because they can work to deliver their products.

[Stedsm]

I also think the way @OP thinks, because it's human itself that's trying to save themselves from getting infected, the more they try to be safe, the more are the chances they will get infected. Survival ratio in this has come down gradually and everyone will think of others as if they are intentionally trying to spread the disease.

More countries particular in Italy and US are difinitely not yet to recover through the impact of covid-19 obviosly the number of confirmed cases has been continue to increase however more patient are already survive and release through the help of other countries by supplying medical equipment to break the propagating of pandemic virus,despite all i believe that this economic crisis is properly return to normal particularly in cryptocurrency.

Cooperation would really play an important role here, if the countries would be more communicative with each other, we would all fill what areas we are lacking of. The number of infected around the globe would continuously rise if no one would care to help other countries, especially those in the lower line of economic status. First world countries have a higher chance to survive the pandemic and recover sooner from the effects of the virus, with less advanced medical facilities in Third world countries, their economy will surely crumble if the cure would take more time this year before it would be discovered.

“There’s no light switch here. It’s more like a dimmer,” he said at a news briefing. “Normal, it will not be until we have herd immunity and a vaccine.”
https://www.cnbc.com/2020/04/14/california-gov-gavin-newsom-unveils-guide-to-lifting-coronavirus-restrictions.html

this is the theme going around now---that there will be continued social distancing and shutdowns, at least on a partial basis, until a vaccine comes out that is scalable to most of the population. optimistically, that could take 2-3 years based on different estimates floating around.

a lot of people keep talking in terms of "when the pandemic is over" but consider the spanish flu. that was a 3 year pandemic, january 1918 to december 1920. this could be a rough few years, especially if it turns out that recovery doesn't provide strong future immunity.

It won't be that easy to make everything normal again. People will still maintain distance. A "fear" will still work inside them. They will think twice before making any kind of contact with anyone. I am talking about those who are responsible. But then there are those irresponsible people out there. They are the ones who will act like everything is normal and nothing has happened.
Fuck, I miss this "normal" life.

The new norm after this will be social distancing and use of face mask. And sneezing or coughing in public is taken seriously like never before. And people will be more aware now with his surroundings. Because even after this lockdown, there are still carriers of this virus. One is not really safe if there is still no vaccine out there or at least the identified effective cure for the infected. Until then, people are walking in thin ice.

[Snappycoco]

There's no returning to normal life until the world discover the cure for the virus. It is more dangerous if gatherings and normal activities where engage and permitted without proper vanished of the coronovirus.

[Sadlife]

I think if this virus continues to drag on, we might see the old superpowers collapse and thus the creation of new first world power house in Asia specifically China. As we know they have already solved the corona virus crisis and taking advantage of global turmoil to pursue their territory expansion in the West Philippine Sea. I dont know if this is all part of their plan because there are rumors that they already have the vaccine.

All of us have hope for sure that this crisis should now be over and our life will back to normal but the problem is the poor system of the governments especially in the 3rd world countries. Those 3rd world countries are in at risks because of their not good medical facilities and also personnel. It seems that it will take a long time to return in the normal life that we have before. This crisis did economy collapsed so for sure that every governments will have a hard time to return in our normal state like what we have before.

After a few weeks that the pandemic outbreak coronavirus spreading there are a lot of people getting affected and this is not quite good even the transactions for over the world getting temporary close because they need to make sure avoiding getting cases of the virus. Today still there is no cure but there are a lot of people getting recovered on this virus and this is good because by that they can now make a vaccine on the plasma they've got to the people who already recovered on the virus. Still it takes time before the world becomes recover again because there are a lot of cases and the number of people getting infected are still increasing.

It takes time before the world becomes back to normal and if this kind of crisis will last long for the coming weeks or months this is become vast impact to the people it may cause of lack of supply of foods, they need to stop work and some of the country today are having some no work no pay and some of them does not have enough stocks of foods to last long in this crisis and one of the solution is to get out and find some foods.
