[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I keep thinking that we’re going wrong in believing that returning to our previous before corona lifestyle is the only answer.  I totally feel the stress too but that can’t justify just giving up and pretending the virus doesn’t exist.

[/quote] People generally have trouble changing (for want of a better word) paradigm.  At first, they just think about going back to the way it was and not accepting that it will never be the same again.  Eventually, most accept the change and move forward.  I have no idea how long it will take most people to accept the change.

I work with parents of children with special needs and there is a very wide range of acceptance timelines after the first diagnosis.  I see some similar reactions to the Covid threat.  [/quote]

I somewhat see the similarities but at with this life will in fact go back to normal. All through out history it has after pandemics - we will either find a vaccine or reach herd immunity and sports, concerts, parties, and normal school will all resume or if they do change it’ll be bc there were innovations that people want to keep. [/quote]we will get to a new normal, but it will be in terms of years, not months.[/quote]
