[알지RG]”Chinatown in the United States will become a country” Corona’s changing world

A new coronavirus infection that has already rocked the world for more than 4 months (Corona 19). It has transformed our daily lives with a destructive power of 3.1 million people and 220,000 deaths worldwide. What will the world be like after Corona19?

Several foreigners have published articles predicting how the world will change after the crown passes. On the 30th of last month, we synthesized Time magazine and NPR to measure change.

Due to Corona 19, we are faced with “foreign hatred” and “racism”. In the United States and Europe, Asians were assaulted or abusive, and even Koreans in the East suffered harm. This was due to the increased awareness that “China is the source of the virus” as there were a large number of confirmed cases in Wuhan, China. On the other hand, discrimination against Africans has also occurred in China. There was a tragedy that hated people who hated others.

Time magazine analysis shows that “alien horror (genophobia)” is getting worse, and the reaction to this will strengthen the culture of “each other.” Time magazine reported: “In 2050, Chinatown in New York will establish itself again and live as if it were a” country inland (territory in another country). “In the United States, Chinese descendants help each other and live together.

Time magazine analyzed that people with similar backgrounds become “safe” from each other. “In stable times, people look outward, but during unstable times, they look inward,” Time magazine said. “The more anxious, the more people want a strong bond with their families and local communities.”

It is also analyzed that people will distrust buffets, salad bars and popular pubs in the future due to the memory of the coronavirus spread through the droplets. It is said that everyone will be reluctant to use the dishes they use. Time magazine said, “Even when greetings, hugs, handshakes, and kisses, Asian greetings that greet you 90 degrees will not be popular.” It means that avoiding human contact as much as possible becomes a daily life.

It is an analysis that no contact or under contact becomes a new normal (a new emerging standard). Taiwanese President Chai Ying-won introduced ‘Gongsu’, an oriental greeting method from the beginning (拱手, a courtesy to convey the will to respect by holding hands).

The work environment will also be different. It is the concept of “hygiene is everything”. A Dutch company advised keeping the distance between workers through a ‘6-foot (182 cm) office’. It is also natural to decorate the office with antibacterial materials that have been seen in laboratories and research institutes.

NPR reported that “it is possible to use UVC lights to clean common spaces such as the subway and buses.” UVC destroys viruses (infectious particles) and bacteria (bacteria), which is why it is currently used in medical facilities such as dentistry. “UVC can cause skin cancer, so the cleaning robot can sterilize subway stations, etc., when there are no people at night,” NPR predicted.

In Spain, medical personnel are looking to sterilize UVC lights on the 22nd of last month. [EPA=연합뉴스]

Telecommuting, which has become a major trend, is expected to be actively introduced now. An intelligence investigation agency, Gartner, said that approximately 41% of workers are expected to work remotely even after the crown. In the context of reduced contact, business travel is expected to be less than in the past. Not all meetings will be replaced online, but “remote meetings” are expected to fill a significant gap.

It is noteworthy that the 6 foot office will become popular after the crown. The distance between people is assumed to be 6 feet (182 cm), and the office is arranged accordingly. [쿠시맨 & 웨이크필드 홈페이지]

“The influence of religion and gangs will increase due to those who have experienced anxiety with Corona 19,” Time magazine predicted. Religion is expected to become more important as people search for answers to their own problems. However, the format of religious events is likely to change. Religious events held by crowds of believers were limited in the crown period, so there is a possibility that they will change to emphasize the “mental kingdom” rather than the event itself.

However, traditional religions are expected to compete with messianic sects and emerging religions. It’s that those who believed in existing religions can shake their faith by going through Corona 19 and saying, “When the religion I believed in was difficult, they didn’t save me.”

Time magazine added: “When the world is confused, ‘Strongman’ and the gangs gain influence.” It means that criminal rules can dig in niches without the rules of the existing society working properly. In particular, CNN reported that the mafia, which is taking advantage of those who have difficulties living in Corona, especially in southern Italy, is making a profit.

“Youth itself is no longer a commemorative event,” said Time magazine. “Even if you are older, you will develop a stable culture that prefers something healthy.” It means that you will be valued and attractive to those who have crossed the crisis many times.

The standard of attraction is also expected to be very different after Corona. Not surprisingly, People magazine named Anthony Pouch (79), head of the United States’ Crown Countermeasures as the “sexiest man,” and director of the National Institute of Allergy and Epidemiology at the National Institutes of Health. Science has become the most attractive element. In the United States, where a bag-owned fan club was even formed, actor Brad Pitt appeared on the air and touched the bag collection, and even the reaction of “The 1995 Hot Star Played the 2020 Hot Star ” answered.

In the United States, products and food and drinks with a bag motif are popular. Bill Watt, who was originally a shirt salesman, has focused on selling masks since Corona. He currently manufactures and sells masks in Los Angeles, the most popular being those with a bag face. This is the level of ‘Guardian God’.

Cocktails, bread and pasta appeared with ‘bag’ in the brand, and even beer was launched. According to the Associated Press on the 30th of last month (local time), the Atlanta brewery ‘Wild Heaven Beer’ recently sold a beer called ‘Pouch Spring’, which is named after the owner of the bag. The demand was high, so we decided to make 1,300 more boxes.

In Washington, DC, a bagged cocktail called Pouch-Pouch is sold. ‘Pouch Cupcakes’ and ‘Pouch Muffins’ appeared in North Carolina and Chicago bakeries respectively, and ‘Pouch Linguini’ with thin, flat cotton linguine on Long Island. The family in the bag collection is said to be Italian, so they used linguini, a traditional Italian cotton.

The popularity of the bag gut comes from scientific analysis and trust. While the President of the United States, Donald Trump, has been busy driving the media to fake news without a proper explanation from Corona 19, Major Pouch warns of the danger of spread and earns himself the nickname “President of the Plague.” . When information floods and you don’t know what to believe, a trusted entity is more desperate than ever.

Will Corona 19 end? The director of the exchange also said on the 28th of last month: “Coronavirus can become the second epidemic in the second half of this year and will not disappear from the earth.” The Corona 19 vaccine is expected to come out next January, according to his expectations.

After Corona, we may have to live with this plague. However, the history of humanity has continued, as always, passing the tests and changing the existing order. If the crisis cannot be avoided, I hope that at least many of the changes resulting from this crisis will trigger the “telephone rollover”.
