I've been feeling increasingly anxious about what life will be like after this pandemic. I can't explain why but I have this terrible fear that people just won't go back to hugging/kissing friends to say hello, handshakes will be forever forgotten (or avoided), people will distance, work from home, there will be no cinemas or nightclubs as we know them. I fear for my children's future, will they know life as we know it? They are only little but already used to seeing masks, constant antibac gels, keeping distance, fear of the virus etc. I'm a very tactile and sociable person and I desperately want to know that we'll get our normal life back again. It doesn't matter when, as long as I know it will happen, I don't mind waiting. I'm just petrified that it may last so long that people simply won't go back to the old ways. Do you think this virus will change the way we live forever? I desperately hope not, and want to hear what others think. Thank you.
