A new national survey of more than 2,000 Americans by The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center finds most plan to continue many of the pandemic precautions in the name of public health, even when the pandemic is over.
The survey found that nearly three-quarters (72%) of Americans plan to continue to wear masks in public, four out of five (80%) will still avoid crowds and 90% plan to keep up frequent handwashing and sanitizer use after COVID-19. Gonsenhauser says it’s encouraging that people are willing to continue these practices and that this year’s flu season is proof of their effectiveness.
Somehow I really doubt this. But let's entertain this for a moment, if this was true, this means the end of conventions and large gatherings
It means the end of every business that requires crowds, including sporting events, theme parks, movie theaters, cruises, and concerts. None of those can survive with only 20% of the public willing to even consider attending them. If it's true, and I seriously doubt it, it means that the minds of Americans have been fundamentally broken by this trauma and there likely is no coming back for this country.
Things will gradually return to normal, just like they did after the 1918 Pandemic, it'll just take several years for things like sporting events and concerts to reach pre-pandemic levels.
