Interesting topic.

  • Telecommuting and greetings definitely will change.
  • Going out to do any and everything will change, less eating out and happy hours.
This honestly is going to be the biggest social game changer since the telephone I think.



I love how they've made new releases movies at home an option...maybe we'll see more of that? Theaters will be taking an L though

I made a post in the Film Room on this. I think temporarily it will. Long term I don't think it's a model that can be supported.

It's a wrap for anti-vaxx bullshyt after this.

You would be surprised. I've see this meme floating on my FaceBook lately.

Won’t be surprised if they enforce curfews from this. Wonder what they gonna do with people playing sports together and stuff. They’re probably gonna have street sanitizers and stuff for all we know. Life is gonna be a whole lot different and weird.

If only...:francis:
If anything, there will be an increase in nationalist sentiment as a result of this. There is already warranted sinophobia. If the virus came from Antarctica or an asteroid, maybe people would put things aside. As for point 2, conspiracy theories are currently running rampant.

I'd also add that there will be a huge push to divest from China and become more reliant on local manufacturing fpr critical goods.
A new kind of patriotism.
America should and will likely move past weaponized patriotism

A return to faith in serious experts.

Less reliance on Facebook knowledge, more vigilance about false/non-credentialed "experts"

Entertainment is definitely going to change. Everything from movie theaters to comedy clubs, people are going to change the way they move and gather for events.
