“Good” pandemic changes

There have been many challenges in 2020…there have also been many creative solutions to those challenges that may end up improving the quality of our lives.

Axios compiled a list of things that may stick around for a while including:

Work-from-home jobs  COVID-19 forced companies to figure out how to handle remote workers so there’s a good chance you’ll see a lot more of those jobs out there long after the pandemic ends.

Getting groceries (and alcohol) delivered  It’s a lot more popular now than it was pre-COVID-19 and stores have smoothed out the process.

Telehealth and teletherapy  It’s cheaper and doctors can see more patients.

Outdoor dining  Many of the restaurants who’ve offered outdoor seating to stay afloat will do their best to keep those open as long as they can.

We’re also eating healthier…Americans are buying more fruits and vegetables and other foods to boost their immune systems.
