  1. Romantic relationships and friendships will have to adapt
    People might embrace new ways to communicate and form relationships if the previous meeting places are closed down or inaccessible. Also, losses that people suffer may have a long-lasting psychological effect on the Covid-19 generation, which could also affect how new relationships are formed.
  2. Consumerism could crash
    The entire economic system under which we live will be changed as the current consumer business model will prove to be unsustainable without people spending money on live entertainment, coffees at break time, late night drinking, travelling abroad etc. Therefore, many of the businesses that were around before the pandemic may suffer or have to adapt to survive.
