How will the world be different post Covid 19?

This, while there was only talk of the corona virus a few weeks ago at around the time is was suggested to work from home the hospitals were empty, my cousin work in IT for the hse and he was saying he never seen Drogheda hospital so quiet

Well now that everybody has been doing the morning workouts since lockdown we can walk around with tops off......

I used to work from home one day a week but will see if I can do 2/3 days. Wasting 2 hours a day commuting. 

I'd agree on the WFH thing. Managment is saying potentially do it one or two times at day but basically I can do everything from home so I don't see the logic of having to come in other than for appearances (which I think is stupid).

I'm saving money from not travelling, I'm probably more productive and don't have to listen to people talking sh*te which are three positive things.

Ideally would like to be able to remote work 3 days a week and come in 2 days at the minimum.

Deffo more productive and saving ten hours a week on travel time and travel cost. Way better way of life. Would miss the gym at work and the social interaction but nothing beats wearing Bermuda shorts and flip flops everyday at work.

Yeah same. I used to be sitting at the dining room table and the 2 year old over annoying me every 30 seconds. Have a desk set up now in a room with decent chair, extra monitor etc which just makes a massive difference.

But in what I would consider a turn up for the books, it appears some companies are interested in getting back to the office as soon as possible, often with vocal concerns about potential productivity concerns, even where they don’t exist.  

I reckon most people will quickly fall back into there old ways,maybe a few will keep up there running,cycling etc which is a pity.hopefully people will appreciate their family more...it was great to see parents out cycling with there kids(when the roads where quieter),families out in parks together,people dropping up to see if elderly parents or neighbors were ok.as bad as the virus was it did bring out better qualities in people that hopefully they’ll carry on.
