An important question. My short answer is: we didn’t have alternatives then. People dealt with horse manure for generations till we had the automobile. Similarly, the pandemic is already catalyzing a hygiene 2.0 movement in Asia based on tech/internet.https://twitter.com/balajis/status/1235029374593687553 …
folks in tech have alternatives (though just as many companies seem to be suffering as are thriving). but the average american can’t work from a laptop. video, delivery, and streaming entertainment are all great, but people want their jobs back. they’re going to demand we return.
Yeah, I know folks want to do that, but basically we have done a halfway lockdown strong enough to crash the economy but not stop the virus. Compare to New Zealand, which has gotten close to no new cases in a few weeks. Could replicate at state level. https://twitter.com/balajis/status/1254315162313490434?s=21 …https://twitter.com/balajis/status/1254315162313490434 …
But if you meant they want to return in the long term, the issue is that many of those jobs will no longer be economically feasible. Like, the cost of pandemic insurance, the internet alternatives developed over the next few years, it’s not going to be easy to go back 100%.
Predictions of a wildly different future get surreal from Sweden where things are mostly normal. We'll probably get it bad because we didn't control pace, but seems countries that locked down are reopening slowly? Is it US litigation and healthcare that changes that for you?
