What is Business as Usual?

What does “business as usual” mean? Does that mean we should not be wasting time? Does not that mean we should be less demanding?

How can we tell people it should be “business as usual”? People are getting sick and dying left and right. Some are at the tip of their sanity thinking how to fend off for themselves, for their families, how to have access to hospitals, medicine, etc.

How can we tell people it should be “business as usual”? Are people still in their right minds and state? Were they provided the proper support? Will they be provided proper support or protection?

When you have done nothing, can you demand for ‘business as usual’? When you have left people to fend off for themselves, can you demand ‘business as usual?’ When you have driven people to weariness, can you demand ‘business as usual’? If you are not willing to compromise, can you demand at all?

What is ‘business as usual? What is normal in the ‘new normal’?
