> The social distancing is having a negative effect on people psychology in my opinion. I know that I personally have been a lot snippier with people as this has gone on and on. Honestly at this point the only thought I really give to Coronavirus is that I wear a mask at the grocery store as a courtesy to others. We avoided all our friends from March - July. The past two months we've started just seeing them as normal. It's been beneficial for all of us. But at the same time, we used to go to a coffee shop as a family every day for lunch. Haven't done that in six months. Don't know if it's a habit we'll pick back up or not when someday things go back to normal. On the one hand, we spend a lot less money. On the other hand, we miss out on a lot of spontaneous interaction with our community. On the same note, we used to be pretty involved in our church. We went weekly, had our kids in Sunday School, went on Wednesdays during Lent and Advent. Now? Haven't been in six months. Thought about going back, but they (fairly) care more about avoiding any possibility of risk than getting bodies back in pews. I have no desire to make three preschools try to sit through a church service wearing masks and not interacting with anyone. My prediction is that the lockdowns will be absolutely devastating to religious observance in the US. At the very least, I expect it will drive a lot of already financially-precarious churches to permanently close their doors.
