Post COVID-19 A Research on Probable Changes to be Exhibited Across, Post-2020’s Global Pandemic

Abstract

After almost a century, it was the second time that a pandemic, like Spanish Flu of 1918, engulfed the whole world and forced it to stop its normal operations like never before. Novel Coronavirus spread across 200 countries and claimed more than 3 Lakhs lives (as of May 2020). Outbreaks like these can have a deep impact on the lives of people and are likely to change the way the world used to function before. This paper is aimed at identifying what life after the pandemic might look like. It uses primary surveys and research, conducted across varied age groups, cities, and professions to obtain a much clearer and generalized view of the situation. The goal is to identify the significant observable changes in normal lives and the paper has been written, talking about the most impactful and identifiable heads. In the end, it was concluded that personal, social, and professional lives of people got affected, if not in the long term but definitely in the short run. This outbreak is likely to make people more cautious towards their health, have an impact on their saving habits, change their shopping preferences, and encourage social distancing, at least in the short term.
