Something tells me that after the coronavirus outbreak, it’ll be a whole new world. But until then, we have conquered this virus and learn how to adapt to this situation. It all happened very fast, as you may already know, in just a few weeks, we’ve seen everyone adapting to living in a world with COVID-19, a novel, and strange virus, that has now become a global pandemic.
People had to skip handshakes, keep a safe distance from other people and be more diligent about proper handwashing, and we’re about to see what impact the spread of the virus will have on our cultural, social and hygiene practices.
According to CJ Xia, a VP of marketing and sales at Boster Biological Technology, a biotech company based in Pleasanton, California, there were three types of people before this coronavirus outbreak: those who were extremely conscious, moderately conscious, and ignorant about germs. “Now the level of each category has risen, and it is difficult to find the third type of folks now,” Xia explains. “As a result, we have started seeing far less social interaction. And remember, when one thing is done again and again, then it becomes a part of muscle memory.”
With this situation going, it’s hard to find a bright side to the coronavirus outbreak, however, one positive thing is that after all this crazy and sad times are over, this period of global upheaval may change some of our less-than-desirable public-health habits, and improve our hygiene for good.
It could also change the way we approach work, school, and other things. Here are 10 everyday habits that people should change forever once this crisis has passed!
