Okay my mother was watching Loose Women in the Living Room and I overheard those women talking about what will become of them after the crisis is over. Now I don’t know if they meant themselves in general or the whole world as one but I was under the impression that they meant we would be better people. Somehow I don’t think that’ll effect me. I don’t see myself becoming a better person, I don’t support any causes though I’m not against those kinda things. I don’t even clap for NHS because it feels kinda silly to me and I hate clapping for a long period of time or even a short. To be fair I don’t really go out that much anyway unless I have to so be quarantined is kind of a normal day for me. Of course I want this all to end so I don’t have to hear my parents constantly talking back and fourth about all this.

After this whole nightmare is over, I'm going to look for a job. I don't know when travel will become a possibility again. At least I'll have a few years to save up for my trip to London.

I don't think people would be anything different than they are.
Maybe culture would change a bit, hopefully to less promoting greed.

I am quite curious how environment issues will be handled after Covid is over. Currently, many places are improving environmentally. Will people want to keep some of it or not at all?
It will likely depend on the place, I guess.

Despite references in the media to 'this may change society forever' I suspect that when thing dies down everything will quickly return to as before.

Fundamentally I dont think we will change, well not the majority, I mean how many times have humans faced a crisis and not changed.

From personal experience I think of it like a person having to change their diet to exclude gluten or dairy. There are 2 basic options, rethink their approach to cooking or buy into the "free from", but familiar products. Most will opt for the "free from", and on that note I miss real bread, the free from stuff is not the same.
