I’ve seen quite a few people asking this general question of what’s changed after Covid and what hasn’t, so this is my attempt to bring it all together in one visual space. The data runs from 2019 (all quarters combined) and then charts every subsequent quarter from Q1 2020 to Q4 2024 (not immediately obvious given Datawrapper’s formatting).

Is this global or a particular country / area?

I am so glad that Covid has normalized home office. I couldn’t function without my two home office days. In this respect, Covid also had its good sides. I’m curious to see how many other people feel the same way.

I’d say with how prevalent streaming services are, visiting the cinema has been less and less appealing for most movie theaters. Disney Plus, Max, Amazon Prime, Netflix, and more are services that already cost a lot of money, so why go to a theater to watch a movie unless it won’t come to them?

Problem with the movies aren’t just the movies themselves it’s the way folks act in the theater that drives me insane.

Buying groceries online (curbside pickup) is fantastic and I am so glad grocery stores kept the option. I pay a $5 convenience fee to save an hour or more of my life spent looking for things in a grocery store and dodging other people’s carts? Sign me up.
