How do you think Coronavirus will change the world?

I look forward to telling anyone who opposes living wages to go fuck themselves after relying on minimum wagers as "essential" workers for months.
I look forward to telling them to take their non-essential, office working, number crunching selves to a hole and crawl in and rot where they belong.
No offense to office workers and number crunchers with empathy, of course.

One big change I fear will happen is Costco might not bring back the free samples.

Clever. I've been thinking about how we would share celebratory cake at work or when people share treats. Old world.

Our economy can no longer think of china as our cheap manufacturer. The cost of this crisis must be included in the cost of anything produced in that country. We need to trade only with countries that have strict food regulations 

And biden better be talking about this.

I hope we don't go back to this rat race mentality and stop focusing on bullshit that is not important.

Bingo.

I hope we realize that we have enough resources for everyone on this planet so they can meet their basic needs and thrive. I hope that greed dies a quick death, never to return.

I hope people stop queuing overnight for new electronic goods like it is some food item they are in desperate need of to avoid starvation.
People worship material shit more than they do nature, each other.
The state of the world has bummed me out for very long now. I hope there are better days ahead.

The governor of Ohio stated that the US can no longer out source our medical supplies and PPE. Hopefully, the retooling of US manufacturing companies will start a trend.

Agreed,  Biden needs to talk about this!

No doubt, we've been thinking about selectively lodging a tiny bit of money into the stock market (just 1000, but that's scary enough when your business is shittered) in a domestic medical supply company like Cardinal in Columbus...looks more and more like a good idea.

Trump has been saying this for a while.  He wants my support though?  Make our medicine here, more textiles here.

Let's up the pay for things and everyone can live a good life.  Better quality of life.

I'd like to see that change.

Salad Bars will be outlawed.....   

Sealed Decontaminated and Certified Food dispensers kinda like Arcade Claw games will allow you to choose different items to be placed into containers.  

Going off OP Question...

Grocery stores....other than scanning, Grocery store technology has not really changed at the same rate as other aspects of modern life.

People stock shelves... That will go away. I see more automation in stocking. More pallet ready shopping like Costco..etc.. 

Isles will be one way only ... no longer allowed to roam grocery store..customer traffic will flow in one direction only. It will look more like an IKEA showroom.  

Check out - scanning tech can do entire cart or items in bags without stopping to interact with checkout counter.

This reminds me of Stew Leonard's.  I hate Stew Leonard's...

They modeled it after Ikea and it sucks.

This will flop once the real thing is back.

Well at least I hope it does.  I prefer the real thing...

Your taste buds off?  I immediately noticed a difference.

It has that not real meat flavor that I do not like...

Release a new Apple product

I use samsung phone and ipad (mostly for apple music)

Apple is a gawd awful terrible product. My Note 9 is a million times better than any apple device I held in my two hands.

How will it change the world? Well two months ago I felt there was no way Trump loses in November. Now with the pandemic, I think he’s toast.

Thought the same thing but I’m not sure this brings him down, it wouldn’t surprise me that even if 100k perish from C19 he gets re-elected..

My guess is very little will change. In a year most people will forget.  Right now people are fired up, but it will pass.
Restaurants who built their entire business around the buffet won’t be willing to let that go. Grocery stores won’t want to invest in what it takes to remodel all their stores. Maybe those things will eventually happen and salad bars/buffets will slowly die and grocery stores will slowly become automated as new stores are being built. But it will be a slow process

If 100k perish in a few months I don’t think anyone will forget this!
