And this pandemic, however horrible, has opened the eyes of millions of people. They have started working remotely, or found new jobs online, they've never thought existed. This pandemic will end, but the world will never be the same.
The world will be more efficient working at home
but I think our social values could take a new low. Well, we'll see about that. We are talking about economics here, and overall we came to conclusion(in this thread) that it will improve during and after the pandemic.
Btw, I disagree with you regarding a "new low" because it sounds like it implies that our social values on a constant decline. This is, with the exception of a few countries, is not the case.
