Dear MEL Topic Readers,
As work resumes in outbreak, brand-new ‘normal’ emerges
Though the coronavirus outbreak is spreading to the world, businesses and services have resumed operations gradually and carefully in China. Of course, it’ll take some time to get back to normal, but it seems that the new normal is setting in China. For example, people are asked to commute earlier or later than before to avoid congestion on public transportation. When they arrive at the office building, they may find elevators aren’t shared by others in some buildings. In other words, one can occupy an elevator by himself or herself. What a luxury! In the office, employees with their facemasks on are seated a meter or more away from others. It looks quite solemn. In the cafeteria, they are encouraged to bring their own utensils. Also, more employees are assigned or encouraged to work at home. They no longer have to shave or make up, wear a business suit, or commute to their offices. Instead, they may now need to clean the house in case of a video conference. Teachers are also changing. They are now using more high-tech tools to run their classes online. Different skill sets are needed to keep their jobs.
No one knows how different the new normal is going to be and for how long it’ll last, but the world is surely changing.
Enjoy reading and learn what is happening in the aftermath, hopefully, of the novel virus in China.
