What will be the habits adopted during the lockdown?
If you are living in self-imposed isolation at home due to Corona virus code-19, then know that you are not the only one.
A quarter of the world's population is currently living in lockdown.
Millions of people are adopting new ways to comply with restrictions imposed to prevent the spread of the corona virus.
But what if some of these changes in our way of life persisted?
Here are some factors that may change our lifestyle in the days to come.
Work from home
Farmers and construction workers have to go abroad for labor. But for most people who work at a desk, home is now their new office.
Businesses around the world have been asked to instruct their employees to work from the comfort of their own homes. These companies include big companies like Apple and Microsoft.
Even before the virus, there was a tendency to work from home, but according to Libby Sander, an institutional behaviorist at Bond University in Australia, the coronavirus could be the point at which working from home could become commonplace.
According to a 2019 survey by the British firm International Work Group, more than 60% of businesses around the world have significant flexibility in their operating policy.
But this rate may vary from country to country. In Germany, if the flexibility is up to 80%, only 32% of companies in Japan are allowed to do so.
The International Working Group expects that flexible working arrangements will then be strengthened and continue.
Online gossip but date too late
Black Morgan, a social trends analyst, told that life would not return to normal for many years to come. According to them
People all over the world will keep in mind that it was only a few days ago that they did not meet their neighbors for fear of getting sick.
There are some areas of our lives that can be affected like dating.
Dating sites around the world are asking people to make love online these days and avoid meeting each other.
The internet is full of tips on 'Date Nights', including watching videos together.
According to Morgan, people will have to think at least twice about the implications before they get closer to each other.
More 'home' lifestyle?
The experience of quarantine and self-loneliness will lead to many changes in our lifestyles and ways of recreation.
Let's talk about cinema for example.
According to data analyst company Statista, about 505 million people went to see the film last year, an 18 percent increase over the previous two years.
However, Netflix, an online streaming platform worldwide, has a 47% increase in subscribers over the same period and now has 161 million subscribers.
And now that cinemas are being shut down to stop Kvid-19, the expectation is that the trend of watching movies online will increase.
"In Italy and Spain, for example, the number of first-time Netflix installers has increased by 58% and 35%.
Morgan told that for the first time, Netflix had seen an increase from 58% to 35% in Italy and Spain.
"The desire to have fun and to escape has increased more than ever," she says.
Despite an estimated 238 cases of corona virus across the country, many employers still prefer to visit employees' offices.
But will the practice of working from home be maintained?
Richard Greenfield, an expert in the US-based entertainment industry, says online entertainment is on the rise, which could lead to serious problems for cinema owners in a country like the United States.
Greenfield told the New York Times that this attitude was already changing, but now the new restrictions have suppressed the accelerator.
He expects most of the world's exhibition business to go bankrupt by the end of this year. On the other hand, the owners of the video game industry are happy.
Due to the restrictions, the number of users of these games has increased in China. In China, Apple's App Store has increased the rate of downloading games during lockdown.
Travel change
The Code-19 virus has also plagued the tourism industry, and it is now possible that it will change our view of travel.
According to the World Travel and Tourism Council, the epidemic could lead to the loss of 50 million jobs worldwide.
The International Air Transport Association estimates last month that airlines worldwide could lose more than 3 113 billion by 2020.
The move comes at a time when the United States has not imposed strict travel restrictions.
According to the group, 1.1 million flights were canceled worldwide and bookings fell by 50% in March. It is down 40 percent for April and 25 percent for May.
Locally imposed restrictions, such as self-imposed isolation and restrictions on gathering, have also hurt the travel industry.
Areas where jobs are linked to tourism are preparing themselves mentally for difficult times.
But is there any (employment) opportunity during this crisis?
Freya Higgins, a professor of tourism management at the University of South Australia, told that the epidemic had also created an unexpected and very valuable opportunity.
There is a lot of tourism in many parts of the world and the growing number of tourists has also seen a backlash from the locals.
