So quite the opposite of a travel post, we are now faced with forced quarantines and mandatory closures on a global scare. This will be one of those times when you reminisce “do you remember where you were during the COVID-19 scare of 2020?” However in the face of this unprecedented challenge, I wonder if what will emerge is an opportunity to change the way we live.
As the white-collar world works remotely, will businesses scale down their centralized offices in favor of a more decentralized, remote work approach? Will online learning platforms just now being put to the test prevail in favor of flexible learning initiatives for students? Will this propel tech already in the works to market at a fast pace to support these new paradigms? It will be an interesting situation to watch and analyze as we all look back.
In the meantime, be safe, support your local businesses by whatever means possible, and be well.
Cheers to the Coronapocalypse!
