Thread: Things that will happen after lockdown is over

10 Ways Society Could Change in the “New Normal”

A) Remote work

Up to 44% of workers can potentially work from home. With concerns of a second wave of the virus, I think most of these workers will continue working from home.

B) Remote learning

About 1.5 billion students around the world have been forced to not go to school and to start remotely learning at home.

Guess what? It turns out college didn't really need us to be on campus after all! Who would've thought?

Anyone who comes up with a new business model in online learning is going to be a big winner. One small investment of mine, Teachable, an online learning site, just sold for $250 million right in the middle of this crisis.

C) Telemedicine & teletherapy

I see my therapist via Zoom now.

D) Drones

For delivery.

E) Robotics

For medicine (a robot treating a patient can't get coronavirus) and for disinfecting surfaces.

F) Delivery

Every delivery company is going to surge. Postmates just became the latest new sponsor of my podcast because they know to strike now.

G) Less spending

This month I only spent money on food for my family. Nothing else. I haven't even changed my clothes in three days. Which is probably why I'm the only one in the living room right now as I type this.

Less spending will continue for a while even though people will have extra money from the stimulus bill. Expect luxury items to come down.

H) Content is KING

More people creating podcasts, writing books, making TikTok videos. And more people spending on content. Less spending on going to movies or big events or (sadly) comedy clubs.

I'm thinking about new business models for curating content across many platforms.

I) Virtual meetups

Have you been invited to a Zoom cocktail party yet? This is like an introvert's dream. I can go to a party and also be by myself without feeling like a weirdo. BOOM!

Possible business model: allowing people to list live virtual events and invite the public. An aggregation/curation tool for Zoom events.

J) Airlines, hotels, Airbnb, cars, tourism, travel in general, real estate in urban areas… not so good

Three weeks ago I was in the Netherlands, performing all over the country.

Today, I am glad I'm home.

Almost certainly, coronavirus will linger over us until we have a compelling antibody. ... After seven days this turned into an absolute lockdown with police enabled to fine ... Things are probably not going to be ordinary again for a long, long time.

During the blocking, many students and students lost their knowledge, including myself. This year I was planning to go to medical school, but because of the blockage, I did not get enough knowledge and this year I did not go to medical school. I plan to enroll next year, but have already turned to specialists for help, see here https://www.medicmind.co.uk/ . I went through the first stage of training and I really liked the professionalism of the teachers, who very clearly present the material and focus on the most important things. Don't waste your time, get great learning skills.
