Societal Shifting (part 5)


One thing is for sure—our society is going to experience some changes after this pandemic is over. We are going to learn to be more careful, and learn to be more prepared. Bottles of Purell will probably be stockpiled in homes for years to come, as well as gloves and masks. We may see temperature screenings as part of TSA protocol for passengers, and possibly see new technologies develop that enable fast testing at airports and other public places. Health care workers may influence changes in the hospital, as they lobby for better ways to ensure the protection of their families. But in a lot of ways, we may see a lot of things get “back to normal” and realize that we didn't miss those things and could do without them. Let's hope that we'll use the experience of the quarantine to change our focus instead of getting back to our old lives where we isolated ourselves from what truly matters.
