there's a new narrative emerging that life will never return to normal after the coronavirus pandemic:

what do you think---are entire industries about to disappear because of the pandemic? will some aspects of the economy and general life irreversibly change after this?

Its kind of true. A few months ago I thought all will be back to normal next year. However, after months of news and research about this virus, I accepted the fact that things will never be the same after this. Patients are still reinfected after being cured from the virus. They may find the vaccine in the future but the virus will always be with us. Efforts needed to make it disappear. We won't be calm inside a crowded place anymore. We will always think that we are prone to the virus even having the vaccine. Some will still be infected by it, specially to those place that aren't reach by the health care system of the country. Economy will still slowly cripple to be back to normal. Debts of my country will be paid by the generations to come.

And just today, even the WHO says that maybe COVID will never go away. I wish they will be wrong.

Coronavirus may never go away, World Health Organization warns

I've already read this news and it really makes me sad, I could not help to think that the world that we are walking on will never be the same anymore. Imagine going out wearing a fully geared protection limiting you from other activities. This adds to the fact that there will be new norms in the society, this virus might just be an upgraded pneumonia that will be a common sick, it's frightening at all. Talking about the economy, it will surely decline, maybe not now as we are still on higher grounds above this virus but once it gets into more severe then it will go down.

This only shows how this pandemic affects the whole world. We may never be the same as we are before, but at least we are learning because of this experience. What we need to do right now is to fight this pandemic and continue to move forward. Even if our economy will fall, as long as we stay safe and in good health, I think that would be the most important for now. Once this was done, then that is when we can think of solutions to the problem with the economy.

Its gonna be back, we'll return to normal just like the old days its just a matter of time. We already have seen companies resuming their business operation, this will gradually happen just like the sports events that are now going to be held despite the virus.

It would be funny if the government will be forced to find solutions because criminals find using a mask useful to hide in committing crimes in broad daylight.
