I’ve been thinking about the profound effect lockdown / fear has had on (most) people’s behaviour. For example..me and my husband went from being very relaxed before lockdown began and thinking the media was over-hyping everything, to washing down the shopping and crossing the road to keep a distance from people on our walks.
When lockdown ends / is relaxed will we all just go back to normal, despite the risk still being there? We have a 3 month old baby and I guess I was thinking we’ll be going from actively keeping 2 metres away from people straight back to family and friends hugging and kissing within a day...but we’ve had that fear and change of mentality the past few weeks. It seems like it will be a strange transition!
Will you go back to your old life completely or be more cautious and avoid certain situations? It’s a tough one as we have to carry on to some extent if a vaccine is 1+ years away and when everyone’s back at school and work I guess any other distancing is futile.
