A new theory on post-pandemic social behaviors exposes in his most recent book Yale University epidemiologist Dr. Nicholas Christakis, also a physician recognized for his research on social networks and biosocial science.
In the book, titled ‘The Apollo Arrow: The Deep And Lasting Impact Of The Coronavirus On The Way We Live’, the doctor affirms that the social habits to which people were accustomed They have been so truncated during the coronavirus pandemic that, once it is over, there will be a kind of “happy twenties”.
In an interview with the newspaper ‘The Guardian’, Christakis said that “during epidemics, religiosity increases, people become more abstinent, save money, become risk averse”.
But once they are overcome, there is an economic recovery and people lose their fear of social exposure and integration, there will come a period of full stadiums, open nightclubs and new arts, which would be around 2024.
“In 2024, all these pandemic trends will reverse. People will tirelessly search for social interactions. That could include sexual debauchery, liberal spending, and a reverse of religiosity. “said a The Guardian.

What have other post-pandemics been like?
The researcher bases this argument on the fact that, as has happened with past epidemics, such as the flu in 1918, once the pandemics are over, there is a period when people seek extensive social interaction. However, this will not happen until there has been a reasonable timing of vaccine distribution.
Precisely, the author points out that this pandemic has had a differential and this is the first generation of human beings that the fortune of responding with effective drugs to the virus in record time and that “is miraculous.”
Margaret Keenan, the first patient in the world to receive the Pfizer and BioNTech vaccine against the coronavirus.
About a year ago, the first cases of covid-19 appeared in China and, since then, more than 1.5 million people have died around the world, a deep economic crisis has been generated in all latitudes and, for of course, an exhausting social isolation.
But Christakis sends a message of positivism at this point when she affirms that pests and diseases have always existed and that they have also “always” passed, even without a vaccine. So go on, “The distribution of Pfizer and Moderna vaccines will be one of the greatest public health challenges of our time.”

However, Christakis loses a bit of positivism when he talks about how the pandemic, the lack of coordination and the generalized misinformation have been faced from the leadership in this period: “As a society, we have been very immature.”
For this reason, he warns that in the face of the new world that COVID-19 brought, “we will have to be older,” he concluded.
