There are many more people walking outside with their families. I’ve never seen so many people in the parks. If this helps stop the obesity epidemic that would be great, because realistically overweight & obesity related disease is much more of a problem than coronavirus. This is assuming we didn’t do anything to stop coronavirus at all it would still be less deadly than heart disease/diabetes/cancer.
We’re also seeing a rise in remote work. If we can go to the office 1-2days a week for 6hrs and work from home for the rest I think that will be a much better for us.
Universal basic income is being more seriously considered. When we realize that all these service industry jobs were non-essential. I don’t think they’re coming back to the extent that we would all imagine.
We also are in the middle of an unprecedented tax upon the healthcare system. Right now is absolutely the time to switch to a Medicare for all system. Coronavirus does not know rich vs poor and it will infect and kill both.
Lastly I think we’re going to take a long hard look as as a nation about what kind of education we need and how to pay for it. We will have a lot of young workers not working right now. What if we started to make CS/IT degrees free for all the people who were laid off? Something like https://ecampus.oregonstate.edu/online-degrees/undergraduate/computer-science/ https://ecampus.oregonstate.edu/online-degrees/undergraduate... but actually free and taught by laid off developers.
TL;DR M4A, UBI, and Yang was right..
