Now, because supermarkets are less crowded, people smile as they step aside to allow you pass at a safe distance. For centuries, one person went out to work, another worked at home or in recent times both members of the couple worked outside the home.

It will reach an endpoint when new rules will emerge and to which all of us will adapt.
