There's going to be some changes in the future. Have you given much thought about what it may be like?

Below is a list of things that come to mind, but there are many more.

Please share your thoughts................ ?????ÿ

  1. No magazines in waiting rooms ƒ?? Biohazard.
  2. Working from home becomes normal.
  3. Social-distancing stickers everywhere.
  4. Face masks in public.
  5. Cashless stores.
  6. Movies at home.
  7. No more shaking hands. Fist bump ok.
  8. Plexiglass separators in stores.
  9. Vacationing close to home to avoid mass transit.
  10. Drive-in theater revival. Baby boom.
  11. Dairy delivery via ƒ??milkmanƒ?.
  12. Voting by mail.
  13. PPE upgrades at the dentist and doctor.
  14. Fading sick-day stigma.
  15. Telehealth appointments.
  16. Electronic menus on smartphone at restaurants.
  17. Hotel key on your phone.
  18. Sporting events with empty stands.

  1. No magazines in waiting rooms ƒ?? Biohazard. - Not many that read paper magazines anyways, no big deal?ÿ
  2. Working from home becomes normal. - Should already be. There is nothing I do at the office that I can't do from home
  3. Social-distancing stickers everywhere. - Yes.
  4. Face masks in public. - Maybe in flu seasons
  5. Cashless stores. - Already close to it. I never carry cash

  7. No more shaking hands. Fist bump ok. - No problem with me
  8. Plexiglass separators in stores. - We have those here in StL, called bullet proof glass
  9. Vacationing close to home to avoid mass transit. - No travel will return.?ÿ
  10. Drive-in theater revival. Baby boom. - I hope so, that sounds fun.
  11. Dairy delivery via ƒ??milkmanƒ?. - Already pretty popular in my hood.
  12. Voting by mail. - Already available, I don't see what the big deal is, online too.

  14. Fading sick-day stigma. - I hope so.
  15. Telehealth appointments. - I hope so.
  16. Electronic menus on smartphone at restaurants. - I see no issue with this.
  17. Hotel key on your phone. - Already available at most Hiltons (hotel of choice).
  18. Sporting events with empty stands. - I don't think so, but masks will be required.
  19. Food deliveries become normal. - very popular here already.
  20. More bagged produce. No more select your own. - maybe?
  21. Buffet restaurants go belly up. - Please do - they are so gross already!
  22. No more Big group birthday parties. Chuck e Cheese goes broke. - I thought Chuck-E-Cheese went away 10 years ago?
  23. No more attending religious services in person. (The way the Southern Baptists near me behave that ainƒ??t gonna happen) - Acts 7:48, Maybe add the Gospel of Thomas to the Bible?

  • People will actually start to believe in Science.

You're a starry eyed optimist.?ÿ Most people are confused by the varied and sometimes contradictory news that results from adapting to new information, some of which hasn't been thoroughly checked out. "Can't they make up their minds?" The idea of weighing evidence as it becomes available and assembling the big picture goes counter to the desire for instant certainty.

@bill93 and the fact one might have to read for themselves, analyze, apply critical thinking and decide on their own.

I don't think many would get away with that.

@bill93

Let me introduce you to a community about 10 miles down the road.  The Golden Rule applies there and has done so since about 1847.  That is:  The ones with the gold make all the rules.

One amazing trivia note from there is that the nursing home has nearly a 100 percent voting record every election.  They always get absentee ballots for the residents and employees.  They all go in one package back to the County Clerk.  Pretty difficult to tell one ballot results from another, if you catch my drift.

Same town had a home for mentally-challenged adults for years.  Same thing was commonplace there.  Many years ago they actually hauled the residents to the voting center with slips of paper showing them exactly how to make their marks in the correct locations.  Some left the slips behind in the voting booth and some dropped them on the floor.  Other voters found the slips of paper and the defecatory material made impact with the propellor.  After that management switched to getting absentee ballots for all of the residents, plus employees.  That was over 30 years ago.

Same town.  Someone goes house to house taping voting instructions to residents so they will know exactly how to vote.  Witnessed this in action one day while we were surveying a house.  Waited a few minutes, then went to the front door and read the message that every house in town was receiving.  Typical voting results are:  Candidate A, 99 percent of the votes; Candidate B, 1 percent of the votes.
