A few questions.

How has everyone been truly digesting all of this? We are living in a time when the civilized world, for extents and purposes, just stopped. March 2020 is, for lack of a better term, a lost month in the annals of history.

Even as I keep some routine to maintain some sense of normalcy in these abnormal times, I'm trying to remain cognizant of that fact changes, both big and small are going to remain with us for the rest of our days and generations to come.

Some of the things I was thinking about.
Internet needs to be regulated as a utility and everyone should have it. With school systems moving online in the wake of this, it has proven that this is something that people need just as much as electricity.

To some extent, we are going to find some level of comfort with social distancing. Like at sporting events, concerts, etc. I'm personally not going to sit next to the person that continues to stifle their cough. I'm not taking no chances.

Jobs and careers. I would imagine that a large number of people are going to look at this as a way to see just how expendable their chosen profession is. Were you working from home or at the place of business, were you laid off.

I think it is going to ensure that more politicians that push nationalistic themes will be greeted more warmly than they would typically be.

What was to be China's century is done. Global supply chains will be more decentralized so that the world's manufacturing might won't be stopped like it was and has been in China. Less profits for companies but that is a risk a lot of companies will take.

Many more things come to mind. I'm curious what others think.

My greatest fear is that everything is going to go back to normal and even worse many people will go crazy and make terrible decisions as soon as the restrictions are lifted. They won't be wary of people that can potentially be carriers at all.

Which is why when restrictions are lifted, I'm postin at the crib for awhile.

Gonna treat it like a new electronics droppin. First wave always got some type of complications.

Everything is going to go more virtual as we will prove within the forthcoming weeks that we are capable of working from home.
Whatever restrictions are in place will not really be lifted,we will be told they have but something from the restrictions they put in place will remain. I don't know what, but whenever certain restrictions are put on us they aren't really repealed by government. E.G we are still not allowed to fly with more than 100ml of liquid in our hand luggage.

Home Broadband and home WIFI services will be stretched leading to the implementation of faster services capable of sending more info down the line quicker

Introduction of the 4 day week, with more people having the capability to work from home it makes sense. Only a matter of time before its a 3 day week etc.

Office buildings converted to living space to help tackle housing issues as physical offices downsize due to less people being in a physical work space. You can also hire meeting spaces anywhere already, so makes sense.

I don’t think there will be a big boom during quarantine but the first month after quarantine is lifted will see mad babies in 9 months.
