New Normal

I think it will take a while for things to get anywhere near normal, you walk down the street and see fear in some people ,face mask avoiding eye contact ,no one smiles anymore ... a morning as you pass .. thing if the past ..
face masks in the streets with all the face recognition technology the Feds use these day will masks be accepted , everyone looks like a bank robber,it’ll be stocking over the head next ...
industry is a difficult one ,I work in construction I can’t see social distancing working it’s just not practical for some things we do ,we already have draconian PPE regs to follow they treat construction workers as idiots tbh ... the next step full face masks at all times will happen I can see it ,if you have never worn a face mask try that for 8 hours then your realise how uncomfortable they are ..
things will be different everywhere for the foreseeable future...Corona will leave its mark on everything we do ...

Not face masks I worry about for children - they will under no circumstances be able to do social distancing and will they be proposing staggered days for children in class as I certainly won’t get more than 10 in my room if we are doing 2 meters apart! ?

Make that 6 children per class per day then that way I can teach 1 lesson 5 times over - certainly save on the planning ?

I think one of the things that will come from this is something that people who work with the general public in large numbers already know, in general people (not just construction workers) ARE idiots.

I would like to think that all the essential workers will be remembered and treated with a bit more respect but when this is over I'm pretty sure everything will go back to the way it was before.

I would like to think that people will remember the companies that have treated their staff well and reward them with their custom but I bet Wetherspoons will be packed out when the lock-down finishes.

I would like to think that people will remember the part that China played in all this and stop buying their tat on Ebay and ali-baba but I doubt they will. (this one is going to be hard for me but I'll do my best)
