1) People will make greater use of mail-in-ballots and eventually voting by phone which will make it possible for my dearly departed grandparents to vote again. And again.
2) With everyone wearing face masks I haven’t recognized anyone since March. As a result of mask wearing the number of flu and cold cases is radically lower and so many will continue the practice. The first company that produces a face mask that prints on their face masks the old, “Hello, my name is,” tag for people to write in their own name will become a billionaire.
3) Zoom, Facetime and e mail will replace meetings and committees.
4) Anyone who coughs or sneezes in public will be treated like a leper.
5) We’ll never forget who gave us the China flu and we’ll purchase less of anything that says, “Made in China.” This will cripple dollar stores. Craftsmen and hobbyists will bury their tools “Made in China” so that in a couple hundred thousand years they’ll make inferior coal.
6) Elon Musk will invent a temperature gauge to be hung over the entrance of every home and business that will unleash an alarm when someone tries to enter with a body temperature in excess of 98.8 degrees.
7) More people will keep a six-month supply of dehydrated meals in their basement. People will buy BIG freezers and buy halves of beef and go whole hog on pork. They’ll stockpile food, liquor and toilet paper and grocers will rethink the strategy of “just-in-time deliveries.”
8) People will relearn the joy of cooking and eat at home more often as a third of the restaurants in America will not reopen if we don’t find a vaccine soon.
9) Ranchers will buy more of their bulls online so no one will show up at sales causing purebred producers to have strokes starting their annual bull sale with only four people on the seats including the extension agent, a banker and a retired couple who came for the free lunch.
