A few items I've been thinking about that come to mind at the moment: * Companies will see the benefit of WFH, and some significant portion of them will make that a long running option (performance pending), some smaller percentage will 100% make the leap * A significant amount of individuals will demand WFH options for their current/future companies * Companies will view the strategic vulnerability that is centralized manufacturing in China, and a large portion of companies will diversify, even at higher cost * Assuming we get a vaccine in 12 months, vaccine development will likely take a higher percentage of medical research funding. Previous iterations of vaccines took 5+ years to make, so if the cost and effectiveness of mapping the genome so quickly have really had such a large impact, this will be a more utilized tool in our toolbelt. * (US) Some portion of individuals will spend a long time out of the work force intentionally, due to the increase in unemployment benefits. This will drive up the effective minimum wage, and may well pave the way to a true minimum wage increase depending on how the next election goes. * (JP) We might see a shift in work/life balance amongst the Japanese * (Globally) I think there is a good chance that, on the other end of the, the WHO has large scale changes following investigations. * (US) There seems to be an increasingly likely chance that the president loses support come election time, but there is also an increasingly likely chance that our elections have some degree of fraudulence to them (voter suppression for instance). * (US) The president has already taken many large power grabs in the wake of this pandemic, removing the oversights for the 2 Trillion stimulus bill, removing supplies from states that are blue and giving them to states that are red, etc. You can argue whatever you like about this, but whatever your politics are it's abuse of power in the open. Get out and vote.
