The short video below, produced by The Economist, looks at the Covid-19 pandemic and concludes that while some behavioural changes will prove temporary, others will stick and “life will never be the same”.
Past pandemics have transformed societies and the video, less than 10 minutes long, suggests it’s no different this time.
If you think anti-mask protests are new, think again.
As restrictions ease in some countries, glimpses of a pre-pandemic world have begun to reappear – in The Economist’s eyes, anyway, though the path is still unclear.
The Economist video is subtitled ‘Covid-19: Why your life will never be the same again’, which gives pause for thought.
Many people are keen to know whether life will ever return to normal. To answer this question, The Economist has devised a “normalcy index” to track how behaviour has changed, and continues to change, because of the pandemic.
