Doubt this.
Buddies teenager left school yesterday instead of June, kid in total shock as has worked hard and expected to celebrate end of school with class mates. None of this will happen. Uni many not happen this year and it ends up feeling like something unfinished. There will be lots of kids like this.
The new normal is school finished early, he gets a ficticious mark and he has seen everybody around him panic, unable to meet many friends etc and then figure out WTF happened and is this Stage 1 or the Final Stage of the virus.
People panic bought because they scared they will be hungry and have zero confidence in the system. If everything returns to normal in 5 years it is a distant memory but if this is 1st stage of a couple it could be scary.
I think the new normal is very different from old one.
