i hope them doubles men and other food service handlers continue to wear their mask when serving food. doubles men tend to talk when leaning over the doubles box. but mask wearing, sanitizer and washing everything before taking it inside i dont see going away soon for me, this is something to continue to prevent even the common cold,

Your views on the workplace, ethics, be in office etc?? If is one thing covid showed us, we dont need to be in the office to get the job done!!!. A lot more productivity for those folks who can manage to get the job done from home.

Imo working from home(where it applies) should remain. Traffic ease up for sure!, less hassle etc

I think this is a big change for the real estate market.We have a significant reduction in demand that isn't really economy related.
Why would x company support the cost...capital and operating to keep underutilized assets like office space.?
Businesses would have taken the plunge to virtualize...and by the time we open up have adapted and settled.
Who here wants to start back the commute ?

How permanent do you think work from home is here?
Less fuel less wear and tear on vehicles...
Food sales, etc etc etc

You would assume each business that has put in place proper arrangements for its staff to do work from home (like laptop equipment, private and secure VPNs, videoconferencing services, etc) would have spent a large sum of money to do so. If such it does not make sense to go back to 8-4, 5 days a week on-site presence. They may have it as 2/3 days a week being on-site. Which is fair enough.

I have no kids so it was always something I could do if I want to. Pick up and emigrate. I reached out to immigration offices for Canada and the UK and they both appeared enthusiastic for me to follow through with them. No surprise as the bigger countries will be pushing hard to recover asap given the level of fiscal injections that took place to stabilise themselves over the pandemic. As well as the lives lost (losing experienced workers) and the disruptions in education (resulting in questionable graduates). Added to that, imo, the economic realities (high debt to gdp ratio, slow recovery, a stuttering private sector, high inflation, high unemployment, etc) for tnt are grim. So its an option.

One of my brother-in-laws the company he works for went fully WFH after last year's lockdown. They were a 30-50 employee company. They use one of those hot desk sites in PoS for meetings if needed but other than that every body are at home. In fact the office chair I am using now as I WFH is furniture that remained after the staff of the had their pick. Had I had more space I would have taken a desk.

A flipside is salaries are less than before due to the nature of their industry and its impact from Covid however people now do not have a commute cost. The impact of the company having no rent to pay is not yet felt as they would have had to break a lease this year.

[Redman]

Yes financial year end the questions will be asked- and whether its cheaper to continue or break lease.

And how does impact real estate-as now places might be empty for longer.

i think a hybrid approach would or should continue. some ppl go in to office. some work from home.

yes less gas, wear and tear, less traffic if u do have to go in and more time to be productive and be with family. less carbon emissions too!

Going back to the gym although all the lighter weights in the gym will be occupied.

Not wearing a mask

Our Post-Covid plans should be to avoid allowing a virus to get out of control again.

We have to stop assuming that the vaccination is a green light to get complacent, and even if Covid is totally under control, we must plan ahead to be READY and NOT allow another virus to get a 3000 mile head start.

We must reiterate and continue to reiterate the importance of basic virus prevention in every sector and most importantly our educational system.

Do not let the upcoming generation be the jackasses that we were.

[redmanjp]

max that includes locking off ALL borders eh. no more illegals coming through.

Nothing wrong with it. I just don't get much enjoyment out of it personally and only said it in jest.

I really can't remember but a local guy I used to follow who in the rock scene did some soca collabs which was pretty good. A local DJ friend who is heavy in the underground dance music scene puts out loads of roadmarch mixes and popular local soca artists approach him to produce for them. Now when he puts those out, then I am all ears because anything he does, I enjoy. It doesn't matter the genre to me really, it's once I am able to find things in it I like and enjoy and can go back to.

Edit - Hold dat! Razorshop on d scene.

I venturing into industrial metal.Been learning a lot of different production skills while lockdown going on.Dont get me wrong, I love my numetal and some of the classic rock music, but industrial is what calls to me the most.

That is friggin awesome bro! Wonder if I know anything from you lol...not heavy into the local rock scene as I never heard much I liked. Only metal I could say I dig a lot locally is from Mindscape Laboratory - everything on point. And Industrial yuh say there...never got into that much but cool! I'm more of a doom/folk/melo death kinda guy. Saw from another thread that you deal with Grasslabs. I feel we have to link up some time know.

These 2 - Vasty and Genericism are my favourites from them altho they came out with lots of newer stuff but these only on soundcloud.
