Well first of all, we’ll have a term for life before Covid-19 ;for example, ‘B.C.’ (meaning before Coronavirus) however that is too similar to ‘BCE’ (before common era) so, we’ll have to settle for Pre Covid-19 (PC) but that also sounds like ‘personal computer’. Whatever we decide to call that era, I strongly believe that our lives will never return to the ‘normal’ that we so dearly wish it would go back to. After Coronavirus (or should I say AC) will be the new normal and we must deal with it.
Even this is a huge assumption that there will be an end to this virus. I’m sure that most of us hope that there will be a time after Covid-19, however we must consider that this realistically may not happen. This virus may have to be a new member of our society that we must live along side and control, so it doesn’t erupt into a Pandemic Part 2. I presume this due to the lack of care that we have for each other. I do not see the world being greater after Covid-19 because the world reeks of selfishness.
We all have a part to play in overcoming this pandemic, for example; by social distancing, supporting healthcare workers, testing for vaccines (by scientists of course) and encouraging intelligent minds to design creative solutions to new found problems during this time. Nonetheless, many people do not truly understand how valuable it would be for us, not just as a nation but as one world, to come together and uphold each other during this crisis. If we, as citizens of the world, do not realise and implement this into our day to day lives, then I truly believe that the virus is here for the long haul.
