Better meet through video chat than in person lol
The irony is, that given this bug kills 1% of the population, which is about the same as the normal rate, just for a different reason and a different earlier time (unfortunately). more people may live due to the less air pollution and road traffic accidents of more people working from home.
There is a potential better 2021 out of what will be a bad 2020.
2021:
- people know their neighbors better
- parents work from home and help their kids better
- less flying, less pollution.
- less driving, less pollution
- more people walk, run, bike around their neighborhood, lower crime and higher altruism.
- tourist income spent nearer (we didn’t really need those skiing holidays anyway)
2020 will be rough, but better to come.
We’ll probably not go back to a 2019/20 where people were wizzing around doing conferences in Singapore or Europe because we could.
