Getting used to the new normal

Dan Cullum · Jul 11, 2020 ·

I went to a restaurant today—it’s the first time I’ve been to one since the lockdown started in March.

It had a large outdoor space with well-distributed tables. There were hand sanitiser stations every 10 metres, and two bottles of the stuff on each table. Large stickers on the ground delineated where you could walk, and where you needed to keep distance from others. The staff all wore masks, and encouraged contactless payment.

Interestingly, the new normal felt easy.

The changes didn’t seem cumbersome to the restaurant, nor to the customers. Everyone has simply made adjustments to return to some semblance of normality, and today gave me hope that we can keep this up for quite some time; or at least until there is a widely available vaccine.
