When will life return to normal? Will it come or not?


When will life get back to normal? Will it come or not?


Everyone wants to know when life will return to normal. As the governors of several US states began easing sanctions to stop the spread of the coronavirus, there was hope that normalcy would be restored. But the plans of the states that have emerged suggest that it will take a long time to restore the old norms.
White House adviser Dr. Deborah Brix says Americans will have to maintain social distance during the summer. Louisiana Gov. John Bell Edwards has warned that life will remain the same until the vaccine becomes available, which may not be available until next year. New York Governor Andrew Cuomo says life is not a return to tomorrow.


From the beginning, the plague forced an impossible choice: physical health or mental health? Economic protection or medical protection? The states of the United States decided to imitate the world and closed shops, restaurants, factories and educational institutions. He told the people to stay in their homes. Now some of these restrictions are being relaxed.

Georgia Governor Brian Camp has taken the most aggressive approach to opening a business in the United States. Barber shops, nail salons and gyms were allowed to open last Friday. From Monday, the ban on sitting in restaurants and showing movies in cinemas was lifted. Public health experts warn that these measures could result in the spread of the virus before testing a large number of citizens.

Despite permission, life in Georgia was not normal on Monday. Some people went to restaurants, but due to social distance, it was forbidden to sit at some tables. People sat away from each other and the waiters taking orders hid their faces in masks.


The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued guidelines Monday that further confirm that routines will no longer be available on restaurant menus or anywhere else. Breaks will not be allowed in the offices that will be open. Schools will not take students on any tours. Employees or children will eat in their seats instead of in the breakroom or cafeteria. Worshipers will maintain a distance of six feet in places of worship.
In Maryland, Governor Larry Hogan has decided to open a phased business, and the federal administration offers similar advice. First small shops will be opened and some outdoor entertainment will be allowed. Then maybe restaurants and bars will open. In the third phase, large gatherings, large restaurants and sports stadiums and cinemas will be allowed to open, but no date has been announced yet.
Despite tight security, there is no guarantee of success. Dennis McConnell owns three restaurants in Atlanta. They planned to open two restaurants this week. But he received some forty calls from political leaders, community leaders and ordinary people not to do so yet. Eventually they had to change their minds.
What McConnell calls community support, economists call market confidence. That's what the economy, especially the United States, is all about. 70% of the economy depends on consumer spending. When people are scared, they do not come out of their shells.
Mark Zandy of Moody's Analytics says that when businesses open, there will be some boom in the beginning, but the economy will not last until vaccines are available. More people will be careful so business will run a little.
Public health experts say that if the business is to open before the vaccine, then millions of citizens will have to be tested, a large number of medical staff will be needed, virus victims will have to be quarantined and there will be shortcomings for the success of these efforts. Will have to compile statistics.
The United States is currently a long way from that. According to experts, in the absence of vaccines and proposed measures, there will be a threat of an invisible enemy. How can the American people believe that it is safe to go out?
Professor Steven Taylor of the University of British Columbia has written a book on epidemiology. "You know when the flood comes and when it's gone," he said. People's confidence will return only when they see others go out, shake hands and hug and they will know that they are not getting sick.
Professor Taylor said that when the situation returns to normal, most people will adapt immediately, but some disasters, such as during the Great Depression, take time to change people's habits.


Examples include China and Germany, where the coronavirus has been largely controlled. Routines have been restored in China, while small shops have opened in Germany with some restrictions.
As spring approached, some Americans left their homes and realized that some of their activities were not subject to restrictions. As temperatures rose in California last week, many people turned to beaches. The state administration had to warn that sanctions could be tightened if violations continued.
But in Pennsylvania, Governor Tom Wolf took the opposite view. He said on Monday that he was easing restrictions on some outdoor recreational activities. Not because the virus has been controlled, but because people need it.
"The weather is getting hotter and the days are getting longer," Governor Wolf said. It is important to spend time outside the home to reduce stress.
