"Think about all the amazing things we have learned collectively!"JAIMIE MEYER, MD, infectious infectious disease of Yale Medicine and Assistant Professor of Medicine in Yale School of Medicine emphasizeEat this, not that! Health. "I would like to think that we will take the positive things that Covid has taught us in our future lives." Here is an overview of what it might look like.

Because we learned that WFH is totally feasible and even effective, many more people will work from home. "The coronavirus has forced us to note that many jobs can really be carried out from our homes and apartments, employers can read it," explains Dr. Daniel Atkinson, the Clinical GP leads toTreated.

And if more people work from home, it means that fewer people will use public transport and cars ", which could hypothetically lead to a reduction in services and emissions that would benefit from the environment," says Dr. Atkinson .

If you did not know the right way to wash your hands before, you do now! "It may seem slightly obvious, but I also think that people will wash their hands - the importance I can not underestimate - with more frequency and with improved technique," says Dr. Atkinson.

Covid-19 is not the only bacterium or virus that we are pursuing on our hands ", and in the light of the fact that few people wash enough, squeezing the hand is a very malgienic cultural practice!" Stresses Dr. Meyer. "We all learned from this pandemic how to bow, salvation, namaste, tap elbows and wave without feeling completely awkward. Even Dr. Faisci suggests that we will never be shaking his hand again!"

Telsetty actually works!

Telehealth or health health has long been possible with existing technologies, but deployment was limited by billing restrictions and state laws on licensing requirements, explains Dr. Meyer. "Virtually overnight, our occupied clinics have been transformed into telehealth practices because the COVID pandemic has raised these restrictions. Although it has presented challenges, I am amazing how much I am able to communicate with my patients to through phone or video tours. "

She adds that her patients "appear" for their appointments and, without an entertainment of a busy office, they can have more efficient and meaningful conversations. "Although some components of the visit in person are, of course, irreplaceable (the physical examination, the connection of the human touch), we now have a great appreciation of what is possible with telehealth," she says.

We effectively implemented distance learning

The educational system did a great job to adapt and evolve - because of the Pandemic of Covid-19, says Dr. Meyer. "In almost a wink, whole school systems had to spend full school days in person with hundreds of children in distance education. If districts provide learning packages, video cats or a combination of the video, it is clear that teachers everywhere worked hard to make a huge jump ... and parents (like me) have a new appreciation of the patience, kindness and enthusiasm of teachers . "

It emphasizes that this could help schools stay on planning due to the restriction of weather conditions (possibly more days of snow) or help individual students stay on track in personal or health problems.

We have mastered grocery stores online

Who knew that online grocery stores could make life so easier? "For many of us, this pandemic has been our first uninterrupted in the world of Peapod, Instacart, Uber Eat, as well as other grocery and food services," says Dr. Meyer. "By a miracle of modern technology, our shopping arrive at our door, avoiding the need for Schlep at the store, wipe the grocery carts handles, look for the avenues for the only item you want, wait for the line crate and dodge People you do not really want to see during your purchases in your pajamas with unbrosted hair and no makeup. "How are we going to go back?

Zoom and other videoconferencing platforms have become ubiquitous in the life of those of us who are able to work (mainly) of the house. "Clearly, it took us all the time to get used to zooming Label. Disable your video when you eat or use the toilet please!," Dr. Meye joke. "Now that we have, maybe we can all shuttles and be more productive."

Social distancing requires a physical separation but an emotional connection is always possible when we can talk face to face, even if Dr. Meyer is pointed. "It was the year we understood how to include everyone at the Passover / Easter / Dinner table, even those who would not otherwise have attended in person," she says. "You can always talk about each other at a time and screaming on politics, it becomes so much easier to press mute when you have to roll your eyes and scream."

For decades, defenders of the reform of criminal justice have pushed to reduce the size of prison and prison populations and stated that we could do it without threatening public safety. "In the light of the Pandemic of Covid, many criminal justice systems have received court orders to decide on priority for people to the release of high-risk persons of CVIV infection because of Chronic underlying health conditions and a limited risk for public safety. For example, the diabetic person who is in prison because he could not afford to post the deposit, "said Dr. Meyer. "Once we see it can be done and done safely, we can imagine a future without mass incarceration."

You must admit that you have been more attenuated to your own health because the virus has hit these shores. It's a good thing in the long run, says Dr. Atkinson. "A lot of consequences of the bad lifestyle choices, such as smoking, drinking too much alcohol, do not do enough exercise and eating poorly used to seem far," says Atkinson. "It was easy to tell us that we will make a positive change" tomorrow ". But the complications due to the coronavirus are a consequence of poor lifestyle choices that could affect anyone, at any time. So I clarify that more people Do not wait for a positive change, "he says.

There is also a chance that we can begin to see discussions and legal cases, resulting in the Tribunal of "deliberate infection", which constitutes a strict hypothetical possibility, "says Dr. Atkinson. "It would be a bit like a person with HIV who has engaged in sexual intercourse and retain the knowledge of their infection with their partner."

Dr. Atkinson also believes that governments will work more closely with their health officials and counselors - "to better predict, facilitate and prepare future health emergencies," he explains. "I hope there will be more cooperation between states and their health professionals, and that, as a result of coronaviruses, we all learn to listen and work together more, for the benefit of society and the collective . "

We have even more respect for health workers

Dr. Atkinson emphasizes that health workers finally earn the recognition they deserve. "I think there can also be a change in the social status of people working in hospitals, on the front line, such as doctors and nurses," he says. "I hope there will be more recognition of the important work of health professionals and the risks they take for their own health."

Family therapistDr. Paul Hokemeyer, Ph.D., author ofFragile power, reveals that the coronavirus pandemic brings humanity to where they must be. "During the last month, the sessions I had with my clients filled with hope and optimism. People who, before the appearance of the virus were filled with Hubris now appreciate the benefits of the Humility. People who have suffered rights are now finding a comfort in gratitude; and the people who felt that they had to dominate the planet to succeed are now noticing that the well-being of their children depends on the Honorable of Mother Nature and conservation of its valuable resources, "he explains.

There will be more appreciation for life

Dr. Hokemeyer also emphasizes because of this "recalibration" people are more aware of morality, and will appreciate life more. "Almost everyone I work with someone knows or some people who have died of the virus. The value of an awareness of death is the simultaneous heighted delectation of life and important people inside. The fear of death highlights the joy of living, "he explains. "It fills us with gratitude for each breath, for each hug what we share with our children or partners, for the friends we call on the registration or share our frustration and fears, our morning coffee, and the flower that comes on the trees. It also connects us the billions of other human beings passing through this pandemic with us. It allows us to see through the labels of you and find the strength and comfort in the being of us ".
