It’s going to impact us in some type of fashion.
It’s going to allow corporations to have most working from home to cut cost off of buildings, leases, utilities etc

Some businesses even when all this blows over may decide to permanently keep the curbside pick up or delivery option.

Schools may make online courses an option to some extent for the majority of students. This is what’s really going to separate wealthy and poor imo if so. Education is often that ticket to give poor a chance at a better life.

Exactly, and our government has been repeating the 'new normal' phrase from the beginning. The sheep are buying it too. I am not anymore. I won't let this become normal.
Yeah, the new normal seems to depend on where you live. Some areas went full-on nazi mode about the masks. Some areas literally did nothing.

I wear a mask that looks more like a ninja costume. Like if we are going to cosplay let's do it well.

The mask is actually against our governments policy, we have a law against face coverings so this is quite ironic.

But otherwise they are currently going full nazi, they are trying to create a law that makes parliament obsolete and almost nobody seems to care. It's scary.

Fortunately where I live is too conservative go full-nazi. But they are nazi enough in that they are like crabs in a bucket. Climbing and pushing over each other to get to the top.

Yup. Isn't is awful how we had a "we're all in it together" ditty rammed down our throats from the very beginning. Cos, of course we are not.

I was told the plan was to get all of us at my job back at the office but now I’m being told we will be working from exclusively. They also changed the job posting to wfh.

Yeah employers are looking at it as a cost effective means. WFH that’s up to you to see as good or bad.

Idk. I know I personally just need a vacation myself.
Some dynamics during the re opening of my state have changed. Same with wfh, social distancing etc

No, I wasn't even aware that there was still a "lockdown" in other parts of the world. I live in California and I didn't experience a lockdown in the literal sense of the word; the closest it came to that was last week when there was a curfew because of the riots and not because of COVID-19, although even then the curfew only lasted 12 hours and we were still technically allowed to go about our business if we were traveling from work.

I dunno, I figured that COVID-19 was old news by now since the riots and protests are the new distraction tactic.
