Life will be different – with a new way of thinking and doing things – when the pandemic is over, said young people around the globe.
“Even when the virus is gone, we will still feel it,” said Sevgi Eda Keskin, 18, of Istanbul, because while the effects of the physical illness are gone, the psychological impact will remain.
Interpersonal relationships will not be the same, said Keskin, who predicted that social situations will be awkward. People may not want to use public transportation, she said.
We will need to hug people, but we will hesitate, Keskin said, and we will wince when someone coughs.
