The Post Covid19 Normal

In an interview with political psychologist Dr. Bart Rossi Ph.D. we talked about what America will be facing.

We avoided the debate of who did what, who’s to blame and focused on what Americans are facing. Does reopening the country’s economy the end of Covid19? He says no, it’s not.

According to Dr. Rossi, psychology suggests that the country will go through post-traumatic stress syndrome. And this will impact how we think and act going forward.
