The New Normal will be?

Will life return to normal after all of this is done? Or will certain things carry over and be forever part of our culture from this point forward?
Will we ever go back to shaking hands, or is it fist bumps forever?
Will those plastic shields at cash registers ever be taken down?
Will we have to social distance in the register lines at restaurants and stores?
Will we have social distancing measures in place during the flu season every year? What will they be?
Will looting and rioting over social justice causes be a regular occurrence?

No one really knows.
Yes, but again, no one knows what exactly is going to carryover and what to expect.
On one hand, in the business world, there are “experts” saying commercial real estate is going to be nonexistent and everyone is going to work from home. No salespeople/business travel for at least 5-7 years. Same with no conventions or trade shows for years.
Then some other “experts” say that commercial real estate isn’t going anywhere. Work from home isn’t the future and that people want and need an office. Business travel and conventions and trade shows resume next year.
It’s exhausting to think about.

Some neighborhoods had them before Covid.

That'd be great

You thought the Travel board would be the best place for this?

I already run into people shaking hands again. Mostly seems like the guys working from home and not out in public much that forget how most people are doing it. But I think things will be returning to norma by spring if everything holds the current course.

Someone on the O-T board mentioned that they’re no longer seeing the directional stickers at the grocery store. I think the plexiglass shield at the register could linger for a while.

My thoughts:
I think people are about "over" with it, traveled last week through ATL and it was very busy. Only noticeable difference were a few stores that had shut down. I figured our planes would be empty but that wasn't the case.
Our business travel is steady.
Telework will be in play for a while. Maybe not 100% full telework but 30%-50%. I don't think that is completely due to Covid, I think that is more due to companies being forced to do it realizing the savings and employees really liking the work/life balance.
Commercial Real Estate idk... I think companies will still offer workspace for employees.

Not if the majority opt to work mostly from home.

I've been more than pleased with people not standing within an inch of me while in lines. Back the frick up. We can keep that one.

Not having a desk if you go into the office routinely sucks and is extremely impersonable. You can’t keep any office supplies of your own, no pens, no paper, no notebooks, etc. Nothing. I hate it.
Right now people are working from home but many still have a desk when needed. I’m curious how it will be when things improve.

I think it’s important to separate your work and home life. I would struggle with work from home.

I think it will all be gone by next spring. People are already checked out.

I'm not sure we ever return to normal. Coronavirus not withstanding, I fear this country's headed for big changes in the wake of the upcoming election. As for the COVID-19 restrictions, history shows that most times people in charge took freedoms from the populace, they were seldom returned.
Interesting response from another thread on the O-T board...
