What will they think of next?
By Morgan Hannah, Life & Style Editor
Imagine: itâs the year 2021, and the unbelievable has happenedâCOVID-19 is still around. The world has long ago transformed into something very different than you remember, and it really is a shame. This new world is one where minor adjustments of inconvenience are commonplace practices, such as the elimination of public displays of affection.
If you like someone and want to get physical, yâall gotta wait it out two weeks in separate rooms, then quarantine together. Relationships have never been under so much strain before. And booty calls? Well, those are all butts out the window. Itâs not all bad though, theyâve invented toe tappers instead of sidewalk crossing buttonsânow that’s really thinking afoot! And there has been a boom in the face fashion industry with custom couture masks from the post-apocalyptic accessories line. Helping to curb âspeaking moistly.â
Certain non-essential services, such as clothing retailers, are now steadily working as online ambassadors for their favourite brands. Who knew that âoutfit of the dayâ videos would become so popular! And thousands of jobs have been created and filled with restaurant servers employed as food delivery drivers. Theyâve even taken on the use of webcams so you can still find and flirt with your favourite server! Also, fast-food is at an all-time high, with the consolidation of food giants into large food-court style drive-thrus! Fish, lizards, and sphynx cats have become the top pets in the worldâanything without hair, really. Cuddly dogs are strictly service animals nowâdutifully delivering groceries to the elderly.
Yes, itâs a new world out there, one where everyone has had to sacrifice something to take part. But, weâre all working together, and one of these days weâll have a vaccine and life as we know it will be back to normal. Letâs just hope that it doesnât take until 2021.
