Any return to normal is likely to be a new normal. I won't be shaking hands at church until there is a vaccine... maybe never. When my allergies flare up (as they do frequently) i'll stay by myself. (Not so much for self-protection so much as I don't want to cause perceived danger to others.) Likely I'll be using a minimum of an alcohol wipe and hand sanitizer when I use a gas pump -- but more likely single use latex gloves unless I run out. I'll think long and hard and weigh cost/benefits over air travel, concerts and other indoor activities where I'll be rebreathing air from other folks. Won't be quite so worried outdoor concerts, football games and the like.
I can't imagine eating at a pizza or Chinese buffet anymore.
I like working from home... maybe I can do this the rest of my career.
I have familiarity now with technology that's kinda cool and useful that I didn't use before. Also, I can use ZOOM for family gatherings, game nights with friends and family. Maybe I can actually increase social interaction with people I care about using technology.
I won't be using cash much. A debit card is easier to sanitize.
