Life Will Never Be The Same?

What sort of object is this: text story, photograph, video, audio interview, screenshot, drawing, meme, etc.?

Articles, on MarketWatch.com through a google search

Tell us a story; share your experience. Describe what the object or story you've uploaded says about the pandemic, and/or why what you've submitted is important to you.

I chose this because it specifically talks about what life for people over 60 after COVID-19 could be like. Most of other items I have seen have been what life has been like during the pandemic. Telemedicine will become more popular or common for the elderly as it has been a common precaution used during the pandemic. Traveling will change in ways like more driving, buying three plane tickets for two people to help social distance and many more. Online ordering of food, groceries, and even common shopping trips will be done online or have online delivery.

Use one-word hashtags (separated by commas) to describe your story. For example: Where did it originate? How does this object make you feel? How does this object relate to the pandemic?
