If Osterholm is correct about the duration, we're looking a tidal shift in consumption in relation to public eateries, concert venues, conventions, air travel, public transportation, etc. that will sustain for many years to come.
The impact is nothing short of a complete culture change. And not, I fear, to the positive. There will be an enhancement of nationalism due to lack of travel at exactly the wrong time. This will be accompanied by an intranational regionalism accruing from people not mixing in cities as much as they had previously.
