Corona Virus: How will life change if the social distance is extended? 12 April 2020

   

If you are isolated from the outside world due to the corona virus, you are not alone.  Lockdown is currently a large part of the world's population.

 Millions of people around the world are trying to adapt to the conditions created by restrictions imposed to prevent the spread of the Corona virus.

 But what if these changes in our ways of living last a long time?

 This article reviews how some aspects of our lives can change.

 Corona Virus: How is Lockdown Across the World?

 Work from home
 The nature of the work of the farmers and construction workers is such that they have to move out, but the people who work at the desk now have a new office.

 Businesses around the world have been obliged to ask their employees to work from home.  They also include companies like Apple and Microsoft.

 Well, the tendency to work from home is already present with the Corona virus, but this may be normal now.

 According to Libby Sanders, an institutional work expert at Bond University in Australia, the Corona virus could be the starting point for normalizing sitting away from the office.

 In a survey of London-based consultancy firm International Work Group in 2019, it was revealed that more than 60% of companies worldwide have flexible policies.  But this proportion varies greatly between countries.  In Germany it is 80% and in Japan it is only 32%.  The International Work Group expects flexible work arrangements in institutions and will continue to grow.

 Indoor living
 The experience of being alone and living in Quarantine can change our way of entertainment.  For example, going to the cinema.  According to data analysis company Statista, there were 56 million cinemas last year, an increase of 18% over the last two years.

 But streaming platforms are also becoming very popular worldwide and in the same period, the number of Netflix subscribers has increased by 47% to 16 million.  Now that the cinemas are shutting down due to the Corona virus, more people are likely to go to Netflix and other streaming services.

 Black Morgan, a trends expert, told the BBC that downloading Netflix's mobile app for the first time in Italy and Spain has increased significantly.  Italy increased 57 percent and Spain 34 percent.

 'At that time, people's desire to escape from entertainment and problems has increased in ways they have never seen before.

 But will these trends in home stay the same?
 Richard Greenfield, an American consultant and entertainment industry expert, believes that more and more people are going to go streaming and create serious problems for theater owners in countries like the US.

 Speaking to the New York Times, Richard Greenfield said the trend was already changing, but now it will be much faster.

 "I think by the end of this year, the global entertainment business will go bankrupt."

 On the other hand, the gaming industry is expected to make a big profit.  Gaming consumers have grown significantly due to house confinement in China.  Following the lockdown in several cities, China has downloaded a large number of video games from Apple's App Store.

 New trends in travel and tourism
 Code 19 has plagued the tourism industry and it may also change our basic perception of travel.  According to the World Travel and Tourism Council, the outbreak could put an end to the 500 million tourism-related jobs worldwide.

 The International Air Transport Association estimates the global aviation industry could suffer a loss of $ 113 billion this year.  This estimate is before the US imposes tougher travel restrictions.

 The association says 11 million flights worldwide were canceled in March and bookings dropped 50 percent, while April bookings dropped 40 percent and flights bookings for May dropped 25 percent.

 The actions taken at the local level have also done a great deal to the tourism industry.  These measures include voluntary removal of themselves and the ban on public gatherings.  The tourist-dependent regions are preparing themselves mentally for the worse.

 But is there any improvement in this crisis?
 This outbreak has given us an unexpected and valuable opportunity, says Freya Huggins, a professor of tourism management at the University of South Australia.

 "There are many areas in the world that suffer from excessive tourism and where locals are not happy with the large number of tourists."

 Professor Freya Huggins understands that the current crisis adds to the weight of the argument that tourism needs to be revisited in order to use it for economic development.

 "Scientists have pointed out that outbreaks often arise due to the excessive use of the environment, biological diversity and natural resources by humans."

 "If we don't set the balance and limits in the human economy, then one crisis will continue."

 Online shopping
 Online shopping is not as common in the world as you might think.  Even in the areas where the Internet is everywhere.

 For example, according to the 2019 data, 30% of internet users in the EU did not make online purchases.  But in the 55- to 74-year-old people, the rate has now increased to 45%.

 The situation is changing rapidly due to not moving out of homes.

 According to Euro Monitor research, the general public's attitude towards online shopping is changing and this trend is also increasing among people of this age who are exposed to new experiences.

 In ten days in China, which was late January and early February, online shopping at online company JD.com increased by 215%.

 Wherever lockdowns are taking place around the world, it is likely that online shopping data will be similar.

 Clean environment
 Recent satellite images clearly show that air pollution in China has dropped significantly.  The reason for this is the lockdown being carried out in many cities due to the traffic on the roads and not coming from the factories.

 Reducing industrial and traffic pollution means that greenhouse gas emissions have dropped significantly in the country.

 But as the world returns to normal, old levels of pollution are in full swing.

 But workers working against climate change and global warming are seeing an opportunity to improve the current situation.

 Stanford University researcher Marshall Burke wrote in his latest blog that "The widespread disruption of human activity and its large and partial benefits on a regular basis shows that our routine practices also have similar  It needs disruption. '

 Marshall Burke calculated that the current or temporary improvement in air quality in China has saved the lives of four thousand children under five years and saved 73,000 people over 70 years of age.  That number is much higher than the number of people killed by the Corona virus in China.  More than 3,000 people have been killed by the Corona virus in China.

 "If we avoid cod 19, this virus can help us find ways to do our job by minimizing pollution."

 You will see a doctor
 The use of telecommunication and virtual technology to distinguish health services differently from traditional methods is called telehealth.

 In the context of the Korna virus outbreak, the use of telehealth for diagnosing and treating the disease has become more important.  The World Health Organization has also encouraged this trend.  Experts believe that this way will reduce costs and increase access to health services.

 According to Steve Davis, a public health policy expert at the University of West Virginia in the United States, telehealth can also help prevent the spread of the virus by helping self-contained quarantine.  However, it can also continue to cure diseases.

 This approach has been part of the US government's efforts to stop the Corona virus.

 Telephone health has been made available to seniors and high-risk people under President Trump's March 17 changes to the national health insurance system.
