What insights, experiences and behaviors do we take with us until the covid-19 pandemic subsides? And has the pandemic taught us anything valuable before the next crisis, the war in Ukraine?
For two years we have learned to keep our distance, avoid hugs and handshakes, and we do not like to be crowded. Some behaviors are likely to survive, say researchers Andreas Olsson at Karolinska Institutet in Stockholm and Daniel Västfjäll at Linköping University. The experiences from the pandemic also seem to have made a deeper impression in how many people handle and understand complex problems, says psychologist, author and researcher Kristina Elfhag. And the musician and comedian Jacke Sjödin states that humor is a good coping strategy – within certain limits.
