I was just having random thoughts on things that might change post covid-19, especially with our daily lifestyles, businesses, and life in general. So, I came up with the following basic and random possible changes:
1.
Soaps and liquid hand wash
would become an essential item on our household grocery list; frequent and
longer handwashing might become a norm too;
2.
Paranoia feelings
might increase around touching public space surfaces and handrails;
3. There might be a
change in the way we cover our mouths when coughing and sneezing; the ‘dabbing’ style might be generally embraced – that is, coughing or sneezing into your
sleeves or upper elbows;
4.
Acnes and facial
related issues might reduce since a lot of people might be more conscious to
avoid touching their faces constantly;
5.
I doubt if hugging
would stop – on a flip side, I think people would stay longer in hugs;
6.
We might be kinder
and more compassionate about people and things we had previously considered
insignificant;
7.
We might pay more
attention to our health, personal hygiene and perhaps environmental sanitation;
8. Businesses, events,
and meeting styles would have a different outlook. People might get used to
exploring other virtual options to professional meetings, reporting, etc.
Online transactions and personal deliveries would be in high demand; generally,
businesses will focus on excellent customer service and innovation to stay
relevant and ahead;
9. Schooling might
most likely go on being virtual for a while. No doubt, there would be some
innovations there. At the moment, online home tutors would perhaps be in demand
to manage kids while parents manage to focus on work.
10.
On events though,
in as much as a lot of people have jumped on the possibilities of a virtual
summit/event, the human physical gathering cannot be eliminated. Event
organizers, however, might explore both options in their future plans;
11.
The lost bond of
family, community, and society might be restored;
12.
Personal faith and
belief might better be understood and strengthened;
13.
Leaders would get
thoughtful and intentional about reforms and setting up proper infrastructures
in all sectors;
14.
New ideas and
businesses, especially in the tech ecosystem, would emerge – think about apps
like tick-tock, house party, thriller and the rest;
15.
‘Owambes’ however
in no time would kick off as nothing happened – life will go on but I hope that
we don’t wait for the next epidemic to occur for us to set things right!
I hope we remember all that brought
us together, even to this point, and how we showed our souls, in its kindest
and truest form – may this not change!
Love & Light,
TA
