Topic: The New Normal - page 2. (Read 603 times)

This new normal situation is definitely a life changing for everyone because we cannot live anymore what we used to do. There are certain changes that have made our lives better just like staying at home often when we don't have necessary things to do outside. Although our lives keep on changing every now and then, but this pandemic forced us to develop new positive things that will make our lives better.

Have you ever heard about one country called Sweden?
It is located in north europe and more than 10 million people live there.

Do what ever you want, but I suggest thinking with your head and see how they live normal lives.

Exactly that's what I wanted to created a thread about it. The situation you just said about it and called it normal is a new situation for everyone in all over the world. Firstly, we can't be sure if there will be any cure for covid-19. Also, even if there is a cure or vaccine the world after covid-19 period will be never same as the world before it. The new normal is the new normal in economy and healthcare. Everything would change a lot. However, theoretically, the world is changing everyday by facing the new stuff happen on it but this crisis is a deal and going to change lives much more than everyone can expect of it.

Most the business establishment can adapt on this new normal and technological advancement of human will evolve in exponentially because we are forced to avoid physical contact. Construction Business are the industry that really hits hard by this pandemic in my country. Most of the business here like food and clothing are now adapting through the used of online merchant.

Meanwhile on business industry. Almost 50% of construction site are still closed and many proposed condominium are already cancelled due to lack of work force and investors.

Actually a friend of mine is doing a course that requires the most practical knowledge and his professors are teaching him the theoretical part in the lockdown and are planning to give the practical knowledge when the colleges reopen. I also am feeling sad for those individuals that used to run offline businesses and are now not able to do so because of the lockdown and government orders as they also have to support their families and now they just can't do that because they aren't able to open their business now for the customers.

Government is opening everything but the offices of those government officials still remain closed why?? Because they want to experiment on others the effect of removing the lockdown on the population and when it is actually safe to roam around the offices of those officials will open again.

Technology is now playing a more significant role in our generation, especially now that we are facing a pandemic. Technology and the digital world can definitely help in regaining what we have lost in the economy since it'part of development. From online transactions, buying and selling, online classes, and work. However, not everything can be done online since there are still things that we need to do manually and physically.

We may now see the importance and the big role of technology but it is still not accessible for everyone. There are still a lot of challenges adapting from traditional to digital especially if you are living in a third world country. Even if the technology is already part of our lives, only those who are privileged can adapt to this sudden change of "new normal" way of living.

Our government here implemented a new normal that is not that effective based on my observations to minimize the increase in daily cases.

Before this pandemic started, with a small amount of Covid-19 cases, people are very afraid to this virus and people are not going outside to become safe. But then, when the Covid-19 cases is really huge, the government carry out this what we called "new normal".

Do you think that this is a good decision? To let people go outside even when the cases are still many and the rate of transmission is really fast. That's the reason why we are experiencing 2000+ increase in cases everyday, due to an improper planning of the authorities in this pandemic. What a shame.

New normal still not good at this time that covid positive keep on increasing everyday but the government implement this to help the economy rise and not totally collapse. I don't really know what is the plan of the government as they know that the affected people keep on increasing because they open everything,transportation,business establishment,people can go back to work, almost everything. I can't really understand this. What if the economy will recover but the large volume of population die because of covid during his new normal? Is it still normal to the government?

I don't think that implementing this new normal will make our situation better, but I could say that this new normal is somehow enough for us to recover from economic crisis little by little. In contrast with the use of technology and in our situation before this pandemic strikes, digital transactions are faster and much efficient due to its safety from the virus.

For me, after this pandemic, probably we will use more of technologies in our transactions because we are used to it during this quarantine and the traditional way of paying bills or expenses using physical money will still exist but digital world will develop. Let's just face the reality where we are now benefiting the advantages of technology in this world.

For the first question, reviving the country's economy isn't that just fast but probably being fully into digital and make this norm, it might contribute but it can't stand alone. Of course, we still need other resources aside from online business and jobs. Not fast but at least there's an improvement than we will not work of an excuse that there's no vaccine yet.

We all had experienced a pandemic crisis but doesn't mean we stop, humanity will always find ways to survive in this new normal will the only tool that we can fight against the pandemic crisis. There's nothing we can do is just to follow every protocol and guideline that our governments made, in order to cope up just follow those guidelines and you will be fine.

Everything is online has a potential that we can follow those guidelines and avoid physical contacts!

although new normal has been implemented but it is not yet fully 100% normal, it's just to give freedom to the people in the area of the environment just to give a fresh space of mind. and traveling abroad has not been opened in every country and only a few because it is still in a condition not yet stable, to overcome this widespread spread. on the positive side of this disaster for people who do not know about the digital world, virtual they can learn about it because in their daily needs they use technology and others to prevent the spread of corona ...?

For me Im doing a really different things lately. This pandemic hit me pretty hard, I was working overseas country and now that my boss told me there's a problem at work, cant go back so I need to figure out a way on how I would earned for a while, since job hiring on my field isnt really good on our country now.

Anyway, my new normal is lying on a bed studying new stuff and got lucky there's a signature campaign that would at least give me fund for my necessity. Im not used to staying at the house only but I think we must cope with it cause there is not much choice.

The new normal set up is the only way possible as of now to let us move forward into our daily lives while the pandemic is still on and while there is still no proven cure to end this crisis up. The new normal set up is somewhat like an amendment into our daily life situation because there are certain rules or measures that are needed to be followed which concern the prevention of the spread of virus while doing necessary things to still keep being productive while protecting ourselves from the virus.

The new normal set up as of the moment will not be an assurance that the country's economy will move up so fast or get to an instant recovery because at this current set up, everything is under limitation which is not on a maximal point compared to the old one. So the point of having the new normal set up is to keep up the slow opening of the economy to undergo a slow process of recovery to lessen the negative effects of pandemic which includes economic declination and food shortage due to months of quarantine.

It would be a challenge to everyone to cope up that easy with the new normal set up most specially that we are leaning or relying into digitalization but it is a must thing to do so that we can still live normally but on a different approach while the pandemic is still not yet resolved.

Government  reasons is because of rapid testing is ongoing, and the more people being test the more
possible infected case are being reported.


It's needed to survive, the risk is there but also needs to considered the economy and people needs to live,
soft opening of some businesses gives some hope for those
laborers who only relying with their day job salaries.


There are  still irresponsible people who are not taking this virus seriously, it's scary since you may encounter
this kind of people who are not practicing proper social distancing and some are
not wearing mask or any protective gear.


Everything will end to this argument, without the vaccine, there's nothing we can do but to be used with this new
normal ways of living.

New Normal has only been applied for about a month more people are enjoying this because it tends to be better than the first, not allowed to go out at all, well, indeed many studies are now being done at home such as government employees, business, virtual shopping that is used is a good way not to transmit the infection to others, but still not everyone can do this maybe the little people will find it difficult because they don't use modern technology now it's just real work with their energy, so to speed up the economy I think it's still a little slow.

Because thats the only way for us to make our living better towards future,Life will never back to normal like what we use to be that fast so bare with the government advises and request.
Thats why internet is the most powerful and useful tools of our time now,People now living alive because of the help from internet provider.
Nope there re no faster recovery now,and not until the Vaccine for Corona  Virus finally created.
Nothing But listening to what our government telling us to do,because no other best help we can have now but from our own government.

We have the internet that helps us to work from home, so we can still doing work. But for people who lose their jobs in real life, they need to search for new jobs which will be difficult for them if they don't qualify for that job. Yes, the technology itself will evolve for the better than now, and I think people will have to use the internet, not just for media for socializing, but people will use it many things.

It looks like that the governing body in your country is making an appropriate measures to contain the virus while improving the healthcare facilities as well as other laws that will flatten the covid19 cases.

However, in our country, our government deals with random bullshit laws that does not help mitigate the increasing cases of covid19, making our country to encumber from recovering massive financial loss. They'd rather implement massive tuition fee hike even though an it is an online class, they'd rather implement putting a law where a shield is attached on the motorcycle between the passenger and the driver even though they are able to weak mask and helmet considering that these two people is living on the same roof, they'd rather implement a law where free speech against government is restricted rather than implementing mass testing.

You'll realize how dumb and stupid our government is when you live in this country.

As far as the virus spread is concerned so our country is registering each day new highs. Concerning the economy cannot be closed for many months at a stretch so things have begun but not fully with some protocol as guided by the government. Though some follow and some do not but yes things does not look normal at all the way the spread is increasing daily is scary. Also, till the time vaccine comes and reaches to people nothing will be normal or can say we might have to stay with this new normal.

It is clear that what experts said was actually what is happening to us right now.

We can see everyone that they do everything in their homes using the technology, which is really different from what most of us are doing before the lockdown. Even doing transactions, many have migrated to do this as this is the safest way.
