10 Things That Will Never Be The Same Post-Pandemic

Society overlooks many critical yet obscure jobs. This even includes influencers, often outshined by these unsung heroes. On a forum, a user asked about the lingering effects of COVID-19 shutdowns. Here's what people said.

LIBRARY HOURS

"24/7 library hours at university needed. Libraries close at midnight, or 6pm on Saturdays. Can only study all night in dorm or lounge.", said a user.

AVAILABILITY OF DOCTOR APPOINTMENTS

"Many urgent cares have stopped walk-ins, needing appointments instead. Seeing a specialist now takes 6 months, matching universal healthcare wait times," one user said.

VEHICLE PRICE

"In 2018, I bought a new Honda Civic for ~$18,700. 3.5 years and 52k miles later, sold it to Carmax for $19,000. Now, I see 3-5 year old cars selling for the same or higher than new. Vehicles are so costly today," a user commented.

FOOD PRICE

"Fast food now costs $12-$15 per meal, almost same as lower-end restaurants.", said a user.

DROP OFF POLICIES

"My vet still practices curbside drop-off.", said a user. "Once I dropped off my cat, they called after 3 minutes because he was losing his mind.", another added.

THE HOUSING MARKET

"If you own a home, its current market value makes you technically richer. But, you'll only feel the richness if you downsize or move to a cheaper market."

TIME MEASUREMENT

"Covid's 2-year span felt like paused time for many," said a user. "Last year could mean March 2020 to Dec 2022," another added.

WALMART HOURS

"Walmart used to be open 24/7. It likely wasn't cost-effective, and the pandemic ended late-night shopping," said a user.

GROCERY PRICE

"Grocery expenses have doubled, even regular items are costly.", one user said. "Even sale items are $3 pricier than pre-COVID.", another observed.

OFFICE REAL ESTATE

"Office complexes struggle to fill spaces as businesses adapt to remote work. Many resist transitioning back, fearing loss of employees preferring remote. Massive business parks are shutting down. In 2019, parking was scarce; now, offices barely fill.", said one user.
