What happens after we kick the coronavirus? Nobody really knows, but companies and governments are placing giant bets on what our post-Covid future will look like. A new report offered three scenarios — from worst to best. And they are some doozies:
The USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Service hasn’t been able to procure enough face masks for all roughly 8,000 of its inspectors, and in early April said it would provide a one-time $50 reimbursement for inspectors who procure their own. The lack of safety gear is sparking an outcry among unions representing both inspectors and plant workers. One inspector based in New York City died from coronavirus in March after visiting plants while potentially infected.
Obviously, the tragic pandemic that created all this change was not desirable. The question is if any of this change will be sustainable after the pandemic — and whether there could be other long-term consequences that might not be so eco-friendly.for example, could depress gasoline prices for quite a while, which could discourage consumers from buying the electric vehicles necessary for a permanent shift away from oil.
