It is a bit depressing to be able to date a TV show or movie just by looking at the number of people in the studio or film set. Anything filmed after March 2020 would have people socially distanced from each other and/or wearing face masks. Those filmed earlier would look “normal”, though it would seem like we should be prepared for a new “normal” in the immediate post-lockdown era. Note that I am not using the phrase “post-pandemic”. That is because it looks like the SARS-CoV-2 virus will be with us for some time.
Barring a scientific breakthrough which can deliver a safe vaccine for everyone, it looks certain that we will all have to somehow adapt to life together with the virus, possibly for a considerable length of time. In some ways, it may mean a better diet for many people as it would be healthier to choose to cook at home rather than dine out as often as in the past. I personally would miss this aspect of life as I like good restaurants but perhaps I should not pine so much for high-fat, high-calorie meals, even if it is served with a nice Margaux.
