What Life Can Look Like a Year After the COVID-19 Outbreak

Описание: Governments around the world have been forced to take strong measures to slow the spread of the Coronavirus. But the impacts of the virus may last longer than the orders in place now.

Here’s what life could look like in the next year:

Experts say COVID-19 will continue to circulate for another year or two. Until scientists can find a cure or vaccine, coronavirus will remain a threat.

Social distancing could be the new norm. With the knowledge that coronavirus will circulate long past the outbreak, habits people are developing now in response could stick around. More meetings could be digital, and physical touch could become more taboo to some groups.

Class inequality may become more extreme, unfortunately. Experts agree the poorest and most vulnerable groups will suffer the coronavirus crisis more than their privileged peers, and that the disparity could continue into the future.

Onto some good news though!

Collectivism could trump individualism, meaning people may think less about themselves and more about the collective good of society. Individualism may have helped spread the coronavirus, with more people only considering their own well-being rather than groups more vulnerable than them. But some experts say that this crisis could inspire people to come together, especially when it comes to demands for public services, like health care.

In the future, we’ll dial in the right level of caution and health measures. Right now, experts are still figuring out the virus, and we’re taking drastic measures to protect ourselves. At some point, though, we’ll figure out what works and what doesn’t and instead of living in fear, we’ll live in the comfort of knowing how to address the threat of coronavirus.
