★今日のじゃれマガ 全文
Is the New Normal Over?
When COVID-19 spread around the world in 2020, people had to change the way they lived. Everyone started wearing masks. Nobody went out to restaurants and bars. There were no live performances, and many theaters closed. People worked from home and university classes went online. They called this new lifestyle “the new normal.” Now in 2023, some people have stopped wearing masks, and they are going back to their offices and universities. Bars and restaurants are open. So are the theaters and concert halls. I found another sign that the new normal was over yesterday. I was going into a subway station, and someone gave me a packet of tissues with an advertisement in it. That hasn’t happened for more than three years. I think the new normal of 2020 may be over.
