 27 AUG 20/20 (CHL) ☣️ 'Will there be a return to normal in Ecuador after the Covid-19 pandemic?-

"By John Williams, "As an expat, it takes a while to figure out what is “normal” in your new surroundings and culture... "Depending on who is counting, the number of who return “home” is somewhere between 40% – 60% in the first 3 years." 

 

"Forget about the old days. They are gone. Forget about the old ways of doing things. They are gone. 

 

We are facing things our parents never faced. Your children are facing things that you, as a child, never faced. Everything has changed … .completely … categorically. And forget about your belief in a return to normal. There is no normal."

 

'How will life and society function in the recovery period and beyond?-

What will we have learned as a society from this pandemic experience? And how will we function differently when we emerge, one step at a time?

 

 

Most of us are anxiously waiting for a Covid-19 vaccine to so that we can “return to normal”. However, will that reality be similar to how it life was before the pandemic? Covid-19 has changed life as we knew it. 

 

Everything from our social gatherings to our daily errands has been completely changed, and those adjustments will not go away quickly, nor completely. The whole world is eagerly awaiting a Covid-19 vaccine for the safety of ourselves and of our loved ones, and for the return of life as we know knew it. 

 

One thing that is important to remember, is that this is not going to be one of those light switch occurrences, when all of a sudden we have a vaccine and everyone is automatically vaccinated. It’s going to take some time,” said Hilary Godwin, Dean of the University of Washington’s School of Public Health. 

 

“We have several vaccine candidates under development, but the chance of any single one of those being super effective is not great.”

 

In the USA, the work of lifelong medical experts and public health professionals has been politicized to the point where too many now have been brainwashed into thinking of vaccines and routine common-sense health measures as are “plots” by the government. 

 

A much smaller subset in Ecuador might refuse to get vaccines even after one, (or more), has been proven viable. But Ecuador’s government has steadfastly shown that it is trying to follow experts’ advice, and the impact of anti-expert rebels should be much less of a problem here than it will be in the USA.

 

 

'What should we expect as we move through the recovery period?-

Face masks will continue to be common apparel.

 

'Experts believe that:

-We will become more of a “mask-wearing “ society as many people will continue to try to protect themselves and their families,

-There will be fewer vacation and business trips and more remote work opportunities,

-Enough people will resist attending concerts, sporting events and other large group activities that they will be slow to return for several years,

 

-There will be additional and significant psychological, societal and cultural impacts,

-We will end up with a public health system that is more prepared to handle epidemics and pandemics,

-We should anticipate continuing levels of discord throughout communities.,

-The virus won’t go away completely,

 

 

To prepare for the journey ahead we should all make sure that we have our personal affairs in order. If Covid-19 has taught us anything it is that we cannot see or even really imagine what the future holds. 

 

Prudence says that in order to protect ourselves and our loved ones we should each have a will that is valid in Ecuador, a Medical Power of Attorney for our care if we get sick, and a Medical ID card to alert emergency medical providers to our specific needs....." -
