THIS IS AN INTERACTIVE AND ORGANIC, CHANGING BLOG POST: WHAT WILL CHANGE FOREVER BECAUSE OF CORONA?

I think there's going to be a worldwide re-evaluation of how we do things. How we work in an office when we could really work at home. How we jam up for traffic jams to an office where we don't really need to go. How we fly here and there for meetings that are better done on computer terminals.  How we realize that we don't need to go out once or twice every day for a host of reasons that we can't even remember now. How we are actually capable of performing simple home repairs &  Improvements & maintenance --we do not have to borrow money or work overtime at an office far away, to afford those things when we can just do them ourselves. I think there's going to be a worldwide transformation of how we live and how we prioritize. There will be far less business travel. Expense accounts will dwindle. Money spent on electronics and computer equipment and home office equipment will Skyrocket.  Transportation costs will go down. Leisure Travel will probably increase as business travel decreases. I also think that one of the positive elements of this will be an enhanced and improved worldwide internet system because now everyone realizes that it is the most important utility we have except for perhaps electricity.

Sounds about right, Bill. A few days ago, during my morning 'prayer and contemplation' session a few days ago, I was struck with this thought/feeling: life on earth will be forever changed by this pandemic, in ways I cannot foresee but the changes will be for the good. It was a similar feeling I experienced when the Cosby-Ailes-Weinstein-Epstein-Catholic Church sex evilness began to be exposed. These are momentous times.
