Remember the good old days, way back in 2019? It’s an odd feeling to be nostalgic for a time that just passed, but according to a new survey of 2,000 Americans, many are worried the world will never return to its simpler, pre-coronavirus state, Study Finds reported. All in all, 75% of those surveyed said they fear life will never return to what was once “normal.” The survey, commissioned by Torch, asks respondents how they envision the world will appear in the wake of COVID-19. One overarching theme that participants echo is just how different the workplace, and employment in general, will be. As of now, 59% of surveyed Americans admit that they would be far too afraid to start reporting to a shared workplace once again. Meanwhile, 36% have concerns they’ll <em>never</em> be able to get back to the office without potentially putting themselves and their family in harm’s way. In broader terms, 63% of participants flat out say that their job will never be the same. That same group is anticipating working remotely for at least the rest of 2020.
