March is the month when the Covid-19 pandemic was announced, four years ago. And while the pandemic is gone, what did it leave behind? What are the things that changed him forever?
People talk…
"I'm not sure if anyone else feels the same way, but my perception of time hasn't returned to normal since."
'This may just be local, but where I live, a lot of businesses closed. That is, half of them were closed. Not only because of isolation, they were closed forever.'
“As a teacher, I can say that it definitely affects kids in a way that people don't understand. Children who had their first year of school (or even their second) during the pandemic act quite differently from children who had a normal start to school. Many of them appear to have less social skills and higher anxiety than children in previous years.'
"The health system is destroyed. Many nurses became professionally exhausted and gave up the profession.'
'My perception of money. I worked hard to pay off the loan, to save for a new house, to get the promotions. Now, with rising housing costs and inflation, I feel like money is literally a made-up thing and I have no control over anything even though I've made the right decisions.'
'The isolations happened during my last semester of university. I've never had an office job, only work from home, which I understand is a blessing, but it also makes it seem surreal, like it's not real. I have no work friends, I have never met my supervisor in person, I do all my work from my desk, in my room.'
“People look a lot dirtier in public big group situations now. Etiquette in places like movie theaters used to be standard, but every experience I've had lately has been terrible. People talking, sitting there with their phones and other generally bad things.'
'Feeling of security. I never know what awaits me anymore. It's scary.'
'My willingness to waste my life in an office when I can do the job just as well from home'.
'People don't seem to be as connected as they were before the pandemic.'
'Scan menu. Call me weird, but reading on your phone at dinner, whether it's with the family or on a date, is bad.'
