The novel Coronavirus pandemic that swept the globe has claimed millions of lives, inflicted huge losses on the world economy and paid a huge price in the battle against the virus. In the process of overcoming the virus, people have accumulated rich experience and learned profound lessons. Novel Coronavirus is also bound to change the way we live.
First, wearing masks will become a habit. Until the transmission of novel Coronavirus, only health care workers and workers in special circumstances wore masks. The average person is not used to, and there is no need to wear masks often. Even after the Novel Coronavirus spread, people in some European and American countries refused to wear masks. It was not until the Novel Coronavirus pandemic that the awakening came at the cost of human lives. Through the lessons of the Novel Coronavirus pandemic, most people have now realized the importance of wearing masks in preventing the spread of infectious diseases and have formed the habit of wearing masks. This habit will be maintained for a long time, like the Chinese drinking hot water written into the human DNA.
Second, some manners among people will change. Such as hugging and kissing between Westerners and shaking hands between Chinese. Because such etiquette requires close contact between people, it is likely to cause the spread of the virus from person to person. People in order to reduce the spread of the virus, it is likely to change these manners, and smile, gesture, greeting and other long-distance manners replaced.
Third, society no longer advocates taking public transport. This is because many people gather in a confined space, which can easily cause the spread of infectious diseases. In order to reduce the chance of transmission, people will try to choose private cars, battery cars, bicycles and other means of transportation. And most people already have it.
Fourth, those who can afford it will give up city life. There is no doubt that city life has many advantages. However, its disadvantages such as heavy traffic, difficult parking, poor air quality and serious noise pollution are also obvious. In particular, large population density, complex personnel and other factors are more likely to cause epidemics of infectious diseases, bringing great difficulties to the fight against the epidemic. In today’s society where cars are popular, it is entirely possible for many people to choose to live in the suburbs or even in the countryside.
