Even when (if) this is all over do you think we will have issues getting close to people again?

Already it seems bizarre to me to hug a friend. To go out and have coffee in a takeaway cup someone else has touched or eat food someone else has prepared.
I’m anxious enough about taking in deliveries, the thought of the supermarket makes me feel like I would be dicing with death...
Do you think if this goes back to a version of normal these lockdown and social distancing rules will have an impact on how we interact going forward?

I was watching TV tonight and it already seems like another world - I felt uneasy seeing people in such close contact. I’m amazed and slightly freaked out by how quickly I’ve grown used to being isolated with DH and DS and how quickly I’ve become scared to go out...

For a few weeks or months perhaps, but then I think we will go back to how it was before

I've never understood why anyone would want that in the first place. A world in which people don't hug at random sounds wonderful to me.

As long as I'm freed from the pointless convention that is handshaking, I'm fine with that.

With parcels I’m leaving them outside or in another room spraying with antibac or if I open them right away I wiped everything down and chuck the packaging outside as quickly as possible

Sounds like you’re doing the right things
