The art of adapting

How going to be the “new life” after covid-19 pandemic

The coronavirus came to Brazil and changed a lot of things in our life in a few days. After some cases of the disick here our routine had to change absurdly and that causes so many changes, not only individually but as society too. Personally, in the first days of social isolation I had no idea of how the future would be. I didn’t really imagined how the world could change in a short time because of quarantine. After some weeks, me and all country, changed and learned to live in another way, profoundly different from what we were accustomed to. The birthday parties started to be in video calls, the meetings of work or with the friends too, the concerts changed to online transmission with the intention bigger than entertainment, helping people and making donations at this delicate time.

All these changes have benefits and will possibly be implemented in the routine after coronavirus. For example, many people started working from their homes and many employees have noticed an improvement in productivity and prefer work remotely. Besides the benefit of saving time and to avoid the daily stress on the traffic, it is possible to live away from big cities, in a bigger house, to have a cheaper cost of living and still keep your job. As a result, companies also perceive the opportunity to retain their employees without having to spend on an office space. This fact generates benefits for both sides and the pandemic was able to show that it was possible to maintain the functioning of companies using this practice, many companies are already creating home office positions permanently and I believe that even after the pandemic this will be common.

I have no doubts that our priorities are going to change a lot. Living all day, every day at home, working and studying from home, cooking and having to make everything for ourselves, and even use masks to go out. In my opinion the comfort won first place on the list of important things. The shoppings changed, the style of clothes and shoes, many people started workout and take care better of health, the decoration and arrangement of the furniture are now more practical, the people who we want to talk and spend our time are less than before, and so many other aspects changed, many of them improved our lives, and I believe that we will not abandon many habits that we created during this pandemic.
