The New Normal

[TGD]

Technology is now playing a more significant role in our generation, especially now that we are facing a pandemic. Technology and the digital world can definitely help in regaining what we have lost in the economy since it'part of development. From online transactions, buying and selling, online classes, and work. However, not everything can be done online since there are still things that we need to do manually and physically.

Most the business establishment can adapt on this new normal and technological advancement of human will evolve in exponentially because we are forced to avoid physical contact. Construction Business are the industry that really hits hard by this pandemic in my country. Most of the business here like food and clothing are now adapting through the used of online merchant.

Meanwhile on business industry. Almost 50% of construction site are still closed and many proposed condominium are already cancelled due to lack of work force and investors.

Exactly that's what I wanted to created a thread about it. The situation you just said about it and called it normal is a new situation for everyone in all over the world. Firstly, we can't be sure if there will be any cure for covid-19. Also, even if there is a cure or vaccine the world after covid-19 period will be never same as the world before it. The new normal is the new normal in economy and healthcare. Everything would change a lot. However, theoretically, the world is changing everyday by facing the new stuff happen on it but this crisis is a deal and going to change lives much more than everyone can expect of it.

Do you think that this is a good decision? To let people go outside even when the cases are still many and the rate of transmission is really fast. That's the reason why we are experiencing 2000+ increase in cases everyday, due to an improper planning of the authorities in this pandemic. What a shame.

Have you ever heard about one country called Sweden?
It is located in north europe and more than 10 million people live there.

Do what ever you want, but I suggest thinking with your head and see how they live normal lives.

This new normal situation is definitely a life changing for everyone because we cannot live anymore what we used to do. There are certain changes that have made our lives better just like staying at home often when we don't have necessary things to do outside. Although our lives keep on changing every now and then, but this pandemic forced us to develop new positive things that will make our lives better.

I feel this pandemic will end soon but its effects will last for sometime but it's foolishness to consider this as nee normal because if peopl would have thought the same during Spanish flu then we would have never recovered from it, moreover people will be starved to death of pandemic continues for over an year because there are various business which has been shut down and only those who work from office are employed to an extend, but those whose income is based on hard labour and daily wages are worst affected. I wish this pandemic should end sooner for betterment of everyone.

Some experts said that its impossible for us to go back to our normal lives, while this severe Pandemic is not over yet. And that we need to deal with this so-called "New Normal".
We tend to do studies, works and even businesses at home and other transactions virtually with the help of modern technology and the internet.
Being fully into digital world now, does it also help reviving the Country's economy that fast?
How do you cope up with this new normal set up?

What I have realized is : People are not scared of Corona virus anymore , businesses are all open and things are going as normal as you expect them to be. At the same time few things should be kept in mind :

1. This pandemic have put internet usage and the usage of computers on the top shelf , job companies are going forth to only those people who do know how to handle things since most of the things are now online.

2. We have seen a wider acceptance of the cryptocurrencies and other digital stuff that people used to label as scam and all.

3. More jobs are shifting to home therefore I do think this does improve the situation for the long term too since we are able to explore more areas in that section, who knows people might continue working from home after the pandemic.

4. It has encouraged me to support local businesses and stores , buying stuff from the local farmers is not only cheaper , it's also a better quality.

-------

At the same time I would like to justify a statement when someone said there is no cure for Corona virus :

There is , plasma is working fine in most of the cases and the thing is we haven't found a cure yet , but there is a cure for everything! At the same time the mutation of virus won't matter much if the vaccination is made on time since it will broadly work on the coronaviruses as a whole.

Keep your immunity strong + work out + stay healthy , rest it's not a bad disease , it's just highly infectious (taken you don't have heart problems and other genetic problems) .

This can be prevented 100% by the usage of masks !!

There isn't going to be a "New Normal". Everything is going to go back to the "old normal" once the pandemic is over. We are expecting to bring this pandemic to an end right at the middle of the December or the beginning of the 2021.
We can already see some countries already on their phase 3 trail of the new vaccines that are being created and they had a really promising result on the phase 1 and phase 2.
If everything works out fine, we can hope for everything going back to normal.

We can't still say yet if we will go back to the old normal, that's why new normal was invented 'cause everything changes suddenly. There are many countries that are already in debt like our country who loaned a lot of money for this health crisis, do you think it'll gonna be easy for us to go back to the old normal, definitely not. Yes, we are expecting an end for this pandemic but right now vaccine is still on the making and a lot of money already spent just to find this cure. It's easy to say that we will go back to normal once this pandemic ended but look at the economic side, there are many affected by it.

[The Sceptical Chymist]

There's a new normal for now, but I seriously doubt all of the social distancing, face masks, and everything else is here to stay for the long term.  The influenza pandemic of 1918 was much, much worse than COVID-19 and whatever modifications to people's lifestyles that were made back then eventually went away as fear subsided--and eventually enough time passed and it just became a historical event (albeit a serious one).  I'm pretty sure the same thing is going to happen with the current outbreak, though it's going to take some time.

There isn't going to be a "New Normal". Everything is going to go back to the "old normal" once the pandemic is over.

That's pretty much what I'm thinking, but I don't expect it to be an overnight change by any means.  People are just too freaked out, and we'll probably be seeing face masks being worn for many months to come.

We just have to adjust, I know it will take a long time but remember, we are humans and humans are the top species when it comes to communication and understanding each other, sure other animals can do that as well, we have all seen animals act collectively, but humans are just on another level.

So, what we have to do is, communicate what is the new normal, tell people what should be the new norm and expect them to understand. Now don't get me wrong, there are idiots out there who thinks earth is still flat and vaccines cause diseases and that is why we can't reach out to every single human, but the ones we can is pretty much the whole world, over 99% and that is enough. New normal is called "new normal" for a reason, it will become normal and it would be the standard for a long time.

Not all of us are ready for these new normal thing because not everybody has enough technology like smartphones and laptops and stable connections to work at their homes, buy their groceries online, learn and study in an online school, etc. That is why we need to work together with our government to manage and prevent the virus from spreading until the vaccine was released this year or next year.

new normal is very difficult to carry out...
according to the rules of the government that when out of the house we must always wear a mask but wearing a mask too often will only make us dizzy because we are inhaling fresh air. and not all children are lucky to have internet access, I'm sad for kids who can't go to school, I think our lives are very difficult right now.

Since the 'new normal' was implemented in the country, many alternatives and innovations sprung up. Most people now prefer bikes as a means of travelling, and as much as possible avoids going into crammed spaces that public transportation offers. People are also more keen on the things that they receive from someone, with the same people automatically sanitizing the goods that they received. Shopping centers also requested market goers to just pay using their digital wallets as much as possible to reduce physical contact. The number of online stores grew, and many people have been given a chance to start anew by opening their own shops. Overall, the economy has taken a huge hit, though people's innovative minds led to numerous alternatives that simply work in this current societal setup.

School might be shifting back to online for some courses while some that involve practical knowledge are being postponed a lot of individual that run offline business to feed their family and friends are at the crossroad

In our country many students now in online class, our government prevented physical teaching in student because of the pandemic, But many of the student don't have cellphone and internet connection because of poverty and cause alot of student postponed their school year.

keep working from home and this is part of the reason why rate of unemployment is getting high.

Exactly, Like for example me, Im fresh graduate in college and it hard for me to find jobs in this situation. And there are many companies are close to apply for jobs. And it's even hard to travel because our transportation fee is very high because they minimize the passengers.

Actually, wearing masks became "the new normal" in Asian countries because of the Spanish Flu, and you could see a lot of people wearing them even before this pandemic. Eventually other reasons added up - air pollution, fashion, social meaning. And because of that, nearly everyone wear masks now over there, and their death rates are substantially lower.

But the same won't happen in the West, especially not in the US, where people make everything into a political issue.

Due to the impact of the virus the businesses are shutting down and various companies are shedding workers which has led to rising unemployment nobody has ever been ready to return to normalcy, so you've got to take care to guard yourself the planet has come to a standstill and most of the people are turning to online work to unravel their financial problems Although the country's economy was damaged Bitcoin wasn't affected.

From online transactions, buying and selling, online classes, and work. However, not everything can be done online since there are still things that we need to do manually and physically.

We may now see the importance and the big role of technology but it is still not accessible for everyone. There are still a lot of challenges adapting from traditional to digital especially if you are living in a third world country. Even if the technology is already part of our lives, only those who are privileged can adapt to this sudden change of "new normal" way of living.

Pandemic indirectly forces the world and each individual to carry out digital transformation. Parents in remote villages who do not understand the internet are forced to learn so that children can continue to attend online classes. Many people are lulled by the threat of a pandemic so they forget to think from the other side that corona by design.

Simple logic like this. The majority of the world's population is the working class, labor-intensive industries are no longer relevant to the industrial revolution 4.0. Before a company sells something they will create a market first, this pandemic can be used to create a market for the robot, AI, and IoT industries, with little chaos. Post Corona, Man vs. Robot in the work sector is a certainty. Pandemic provides justification for replacing human labor with robots. Initially with the aim of ensuring the industry's supply of daily basic needs, then reaching to other sectors.

That is correct that we cannot go back to normal as long as the virus is still here but things will change  once  the cure is already found and in  circulation,

We tend to do studies, works and even businesses at home and other transactions virtually with the help of modern technology and the internet.
Being fully into digital world now, does it also help reviving the Country's economy that fast?

partly yes because Online world is the new business sector of the world,there are millions of new entrepreneur now that existing in the world.

How do you cope up with this new normal set up?

Just tighten our belt,less expenses and buying only what we need to use.

Yes, that is because the companies don't want to risk their companies by opening a new job position. Maybe you can try to search for an online job. If you have skills, maybe you can try to offers to people on the website such as in Fiverr, I am sure you will get a customer from many countries which need your skills. That will better for you because you can work from home, and you don't depend on offline jobs.

By saying country's economy was damaged make sure you mean each person's microeconomy in the country was damaged, there is no "economy" in the air which was affected, its real people and real struggle.
Anyway, I think current state of the world really pushed people to work online and pushed the rest of working companies to will to hire remote workers - thats the New Normal for everyone I guess.
I guess we'll get rid of masks in a few months after vaccine is ready
