What will the ‘new normal’ be after Covid-19?

Question

Will we continue investing in more remote employees? What will happen to our markets and the economies we are a part of? What new businesses will be spawned from this? Will we be more prepared for the next (epi/pan)demic?

>Will we be more prepared for the next (epi/pan)demic?More, sure a little more prepared, but we won't be "prepared" (in the US). Just like Pearl Harbor, WTC bombing, 9/11, we can see all the signs after the fact but ignore them prior, until disaster.

Personally, I'm using this as a trial run for early retirement. I'm eating at home and my expenses are drastically reduced.

I predict the the "new" normal will return to the "old" normal once the situation stabilizes. I don't for a moment buy into the plethora of posts suggesting that we will not.

> Will we be more prepared for the next (epi/pan)demic?If we keep washing our hands, sanitizing our surfaces, and working from home, I&rsquo;d expect next winter&rsquo;s flu season to be pretty light.
