Your new normal after they lift lockdown

[Deleted Member]

I already am into my new normal specially with regard to of line shopping. What used to be a daily feature is now reduced to twice a week. I do most of my shopping online but there are a few items I need to buy offline.

After all there is some benefit that the pandemic will leave behind.

What's your new normal? Will you be cutting your own hair, for example

Honestly, since this whole lockdown started, I have found myself with more time to spend to cooking and preparing meals instead of dining out most of the time. I would consider this to be my new normal routine after the global pandemic.

The lockdown isn't what I'm worried about now even though a lot of stores might not even get to be open. The last two weeks uk protests are just getting so crazy and UK won't be UK anymore.

I’ve been working from home for past several years. Nothing has changed aside from my parents and siblings being at home with me.

There’s rarely a reason for me to leave home aside from doctor appointments. The rest of my family does grocery shopping and I help around the home instead.

Even if I lived alone though Amazon and WholeFoods and ShipIt are active, as is UberEats and the pizza delivery companies. I don’t drive because of a disability that makes it unsafe for me to do so and can reinvest into having everything delivered and take an Uber/Lyft in those rare occasions I need to go out.

Thanks to my location along with family income while I’m still a CS Student, I have so many options to have literally every want or need brought to me within hours it’s great ?

My new normal is seeing even less of people, kind of sucks with my friends but not a bad thing with other things.

I haven't had to change much of anything, as I was already social distancing most people anyways. Plus, being a cook, I have to be thorough about keeping clean anyways.

Guess I should add that I'm not going out to eat as often, a little bit more of ordering to home, but its all the better that I cook more for myself.

I was already cutting my own hair before the pandemic, because it's cheaper and I'm from a low income family. To be honest, the only thing that makes my daily life any different is things like getting my temperature checked before I get let into the hospital for doctor appointments, and having doctor appointments on the phone. I've also become a bit more social, surprisingly, and actually want to leave the house more than I did beforehand. I guess it's because I'm a rebel?

The only thing different for me is avoiding going to the local small shop. Which I didnt do much anyway due to health issues.

I don't like having to wear a mask as I find it hard to breathe in so I'm definitely avoiding going out to shops as much as possible.

The only major downside is inability to get online shopping slots that I rely on in general.

I have not had to live through a strict lockdown so I have not had to make an awful lot of sacrifices thankfully, so I am not really doing much differently. Also before the pandemic, I was a bit of a 'germophobe' anyway, so regardless I will think twice about touching certain things in public. Right now I am just a bit anxious over the whole things, this and being near people so until there's a cure perhaps this is the new normal?

it is same for me till date. I'm still indoor most times either having fun or working online. Nothing much hsd changed since then for me.

I dined out a lot before the Pandemic. During the lockdown, I dare not to dine out and cooked a lot a home. My new normal is I am cooking more at home right now.
