How do you imagine life will be different when the pandemic is over? Have your thoughts on this changed since the pandemic began?

I've been thinking a lot more lately about life post-pandemic. But, it's hard to picture, and now I don't believe it will look at all like it did before the pandemic. I do believe I'll be able to interact and hug and see my loved ones again as before. But, that's going to take a long time still. I think it won't be until the Fall, or Winter of 2021 before we are able to be sort of normal again. But, I think we're always going to be thinking about the next pandemic or epidemic. That's always going to be on the back of my mind. I think the workplace is forever changed. The pandemic showed a spotlight on a lot of problems in our country: lack of access to healthcare, racism (in healthcare, workplace, elections, police enforcement, etc.), sexism, rampant increase of misinformation, and the radicalization of moderate conservatives and the rise in domestic terrorism (i.e. Militias, Proud Boys, KKK, etc.). My hope is that we'll work to make improvements in all of these areas because I really feel like we took a lot of steps backwards during the pandemic. I feel like we lost civility and what it means to look out for and take care of each other. Maybe it was always like that, but I think it got worse during the pandemic. I think overnight we went from trying to follow the Golden Rule to looking out for ourselves and our own.
