On the post Covid-19 normality

Will the old normal be the new normal?


Quite often currently one can hear talk about a new normal in which we are finding ourselves. I think such views are misguided for no matter how we define a new normal, surely it must describe a state we can accept as normality and surely it must differ from the old normal in some meaningful way.

The real question therefore is how much will be new in the post Covid-19 normality.

The rhetoric around the new normal is inaccurate on two counts in my view. First, we may temporarily accept the necessity for strong limitations to vital freedoms and rights but we ought not to call the abnormal a new normal. Second, most efforts are currently geared towards pragmatic adaptations to the old normal but not towards a new normal.

This article was originally written as a linkedIn article and posted in May 2020 at the height of the Covid-19 Pandemic.
