I hope to see people being more diligent when it comes to disease prevention. Like maintaining better hygiene practices and not coughing or sneezing on others. Little things like wearing masks when sick with respiratory illnesses as has long been done in Taiwan. I’d also like to see companies urging sick employees to stay at home instead of demanding they come to the office and penalizing them if they don’t. Oh, and vaccinating your kids; no more anti-vax BS.
The result will be better overall public health, more productivity, and lower healthcare costs.
As I’m currently on lockdown in London, I’ll reply from a London perspective:
More people cycling and walking to work, which should hopefully lead to better cycling facilities on the roads
People being more conscientious of spreading viruses to other people, with wearing masks on public transport no longer being a weird thing that only Asian tourists do
Working from home becoming more widespread (this actually applies to Taipei than London, because most of the good companies here already allowed it before the pandemic hit)
People understanding where food comes from better. Eat more fresh veggies, meats, fruits. And don’t take those farmers for granted. I hope people eat at home and cook themselves more instead of eating fast food.
