What covid changes in your life will be permanent?
I've made a bunch of changes in my life over the past nine months, and frankly some of them have been pretty good experiments. In some cases I'll revert back, but in others I probably won't.

How do you think you'll think/act differently going forward as a result of this?

For me, some changes that will stick are:
  • I'll work from home more.
  • I'll probably continue to give people distance when I pass them on the street.
  • I'll go to restaurants less often and get takeout more.
  • There'll be notable changes to my business office, though not sure what yet. It'll definitely be less space than we pay for now.
  • On an investment front, I've learned that tech is a safe haven now, so I've upped my tech allocation in my investments, and that won't go back down.
  • I'll likely get a bidet as I redo a bathroom so I don't have to worry about future toilet paper shortages.
  • I've discovered a lot of good new foods as a result of online shopping, so my dining at home will carry forward these discoveries.

Some changes that might stick in whole or in part:
  • I'll keep getting groceries delivered instead of going to the store. I'm not sure if this one will stick or not just because I live a block from a store.
  • If I have a cold or flu, I'll wear a mask.
  • I'll go back to running in parks and on trails, but I've found good alternate routes that I'll continue to use (routes which allowed greater social distancing but are generally pleasant).
  • I'll be more likely to get a regular flu shot given what I've learned about contagion.
  • I'll probably go back to doing more crowd things (e.g., shows, parties, etc.), but less than before and mostly because my wife will want to go.

Some changes that won't stick and will revert back to normal:
  • My leisure travel will go back to old habits. However, I may consider more road trips for a while where feasible.
  • I've been a very casual dresser for the past nine months, and have been barefoot more than I've ever been in my life. That'll need to change if I'm doing more in-person meetings again.
  • I look forward to being able to go back to my local mall, buy some Panda Express, and people watch while I work remotely. I actually may miss that more than anything else.

that’s just not true across the board. I’m a big dude. My “firm” handshake is not appropriate for most.

It's be very happy to lose handshakes.

I made my wife start cutting my hair to avoid going to the barber.

She's doing a great job and actually says she enjoys doing it.

Thanks COVID!

I’m hoping and planning to make the work from home thing stick. It’s literally improved almost every part of my life. I’m walking around 3 miles a day with my dog, sleeping 7-8 hrs a night, not getting road rage driving to work, making healthy meals for breakfast and lunch because it’s easy, and saving lots of money on gas.

Grocery delivery is convenient, but I’ll probably do more shopping in store. I can’t wait to do some travel for work again as that’s always interesting and nothing like working in the office. I’ll be very glad for my kids to stop remote learning, for my sake and theirs.

Hashaha, someone gave me a thumb's down.

How about this?

Yesterday I gave my dog a 15 minute rubdown and scratched his belly, then WITHOUT WASHING MY HANDS OR TAKING A SHOWER WITH DISINFECTANT, I COOKED AND ATE DINNER. OH, THE HORROR!!!

And I've never disinfected the dog either. He licks my face daily.

GAME OVER, MAN, GAME OVER!
Stupid example. Animals are way cleaner than humans.

Work in healthcare and understand how terrible most people are with basic hygiene. Handshakes are absolutely a HUGE germ spreader and definitely not a needed occurrence for most situations.

I've been a fist-bump guy for the better part of 4 decades.

Most of my friends and cohorts are fellow musicians and composers and our hands are our livelihood.

I'm not shaking hands with some douchebag who thinks it's cool to squeeze someone's hand as hard as possible in order to prove their manliness.

Personally: Maybe just use more hand sanitizer.

Work: We've implemented measures that should help mitigate risk of other virus spread. We'll keep that up forever.
Touchless faucets and soap dispensers
Merv 12 furnace filters
Maintaining optimum humidity (viruses don't travel as well at around 45% and is fairly comfortable)
We've changed the layout of some workstations to provide greater social distancing.
