World is changing and the Corona Virus

I see the impact this virus is having and wonder what surprises will come up in the future.

One small change I think will happen is a stop to the "finger licking cashiers". Some retail clerks lick their fingers when counting bills or making change. If they don't die off fast I predict either their boss or customers will put an end to their nasty bad habit.

Another change could be an end to envelopes that are licked to seal. The replacement would be self sealing envelopes.  B) I know the virus would probably die before any mail got delivered but it is possible some may get delivered early B)

Any predictions of what changes we may see.

    If you look back, you'll discover that there has been a "WORLD IS ENDING!" panic/crisis every year for decades. Y2K, ebola, SARS, swine flu, Legionnaires' Disease, market crash, climate change, bird flu, AIDS, oil shortage, anthrax, and on and on.
    With each one, the media goes all Chicken Little until the next one comes along. NONE OF THEM have ever caused widespread death or destruction.
    Relax. Don't panic.
    I may be a bit crazy - but I didn't drive myself.

    The reporting news media will concentrate on COVID-19  number of deaths and illnesses while ignoring the number stricken and number of 16,000 deaths from the flu so far this year.
    The news media is all about drama.

    I disagree on the drama conclusion. Drama appears real but in reality is a ruse. Fact is: todays news media is all about advancing the DEMOCRAT party and spreading propaganda. That is 95% of all media to include all the major wire services. There are few exceptions.

    Everything is political to these people. Journalism has been dead for 60 years now. Good news is NEVER reported unless it benefits the DEMOCRAT party politically.  COVID 19 has been weaponized by the media to attack Donald Trump. I remember the same method was used by the media where the swine flu was blamed on President Gerald Ford in the 70s.

    I worry more about being stuck in a nursing/rest home rooming next door to a guy like our well known "resident expert" on everything than this crap. There's absolutely nothing wrong with taking needed precautions for yourself and family ( not doing so is stupid )  but I'm a firm believer in when it's our time...it's our time  ;)
