Two buzzwords will be trending in a couple of months from now.:"New Normal," which is not that new, and "Post-Covid19," which is a novel word. :-) Let me try to use both.
Businesses will now be more attuned to working from home (WFH) for certain activities, especially now that they have an ample dry run during the ECQ, and now have the knowledge and experience as to what will work and what will not. Bonuses will also shift from cash to faster internet/wifi connections at home,to ensure that employees are investing bonuses towards better resiliency. Home offices might even become fully-funded by employers.
Consumers have also tried and tested which online and delivery companies are reliable and resilient during crunch time. They also became aware of the heartaches that come with wrong deliveries, billed-to-credit-card-but-not-sold-out woes, and the list goes on. They would have become online-buying savvy already, and why go back to the old ways if one can have groceries delivered to his/her doorstep without having to interrupt online yoga.
As there will be a new normal for businesses and consumers, there should also be a new normal in government, especially in the aspect of national budget allocation. Obviously, in the post-Covid19 era, we should be ushering in a new normal of giving public health the lion's share rather than the current bias towards intel funds. Governance concepts will have to be revisited, and questions whether senators are expected to do repacking of goods during crisis will have to be answered by candidates.
Ah. Ms. Universe Q&A will definitely go into a new normal as well, Gone are the days wherein any answer bordering on the essence of a woman will win the crown. The Ms. Universe will now be expected to have knowledge of the science of viruses, the dynamics of human-to-human transmissions, and data analytics towards flattening the curve.
