In my country at the moment a commercial restriction plan is applied, I suppose that in your country there will be something similar, here it consists of making more flexible some of the measures derived from the control of the pandemic that affects the freedoms to work and the displacement of the citizens, although I have come to think that we are prisoners of the authorities only for fear of contagion.
The plan is administered for a period of 7x7, that is, 7 days of the flexibility of the isolation measures of the areas, which means that most of the shops operate between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m., and people can transit between some administrative offices of the territory.
Today is Thursday and in two days we will go to another restriction scheme, I think that is what the new normal is about, when only food, pharmaceutical, and related establishments operate; closing the internal borders. We have lost freedoms that for now, I see far in recovering them if we consider the announcement of the World Health Organization that declares COVID19 endemic, well, pandemic, and consequently we will have to suffer the measures for an indeterminate time.
My wife had not seen my mother-in-law for six months, even though we live only 40 kilometers away, something like half an hour by car, now that there are no traffic jams, but there is a traffic jam in economic activity and borders closed so intermittent between municipalities, in addition to the impoverishment into which the extinct Venezuelan middle class has fallen, we are not part of the exception, it is so much so that our vehicles are stopped due to lack of maintenance.
Today my wife took the opportunity to go to her mother's house, I hope she doesn't get caught in the time change, the plan is for her to come back tomorrow, otherwise, she would be stranded, luckily for my mother-in-law, until next week.
Both my son and I hope to see her tomorrow if public transport allows it, I can't get used to the new normal.
I don't know about you, but I think these are times of paradigm shifts, although we must never renounce the right to live in freedom ... Be prepared for what is to come.
