When will we get back to normal?

Increasingly, health experts believe it could take years before a cure emerges. The World Health Organization recently warned that it could take up to 5 years before things go back to “normal.”

Business leaders are also taking on the view that the pandemic will last longer than previously thought. About 38% of Fortune 500 leaders surveyed between late April and early May think their employees will return to work by June 2021. Some 58% believe economic activity won’t return to pre-pandemic levels until the first quarter of 2022. Another majority, 52.4%, think employees will never travel as much again.
