Working from home was common in Sci Fi decades ago. C19 may be the push to get mainstream society to make it acceptable.
I expect a big effort to find o greeting other than shaking paws.
Home schooling is only an option for the middle class and above. Lower down the social scale, it is important to have proper schooling.
Globalism will not disappear, but will fade. I am old enough to remember the times when countries had manufacturing purely for military reasons, understandable after two world wars. We now know that each country needs to make essential medical equipment, and no doubt other products.
China has shown that there is a political aspect to globalism, which economists ion the eighties had not recognised. China became the factory of the world, and - eventually - turned what was supposed to be a purely business proposition into power politics. China is fouling its own nest, and the rest of the world, will repatriate their important industries, and diversify purchases of, say refrigrigetors, to India or Brazil. I live in Australia, dependent on China for purchases of iron ore and coal, so that will wind down in the future.
I reply to deborah, the world order will not change much, and in China disfavour. China caused C19, and relies on its customers for its trading empire.
