• People stop licking their fingers as they’re counting money. Beyond gross
I don't do that with money but I do with paper. I'm more conscious of it now but it's a really hard habit to break.
If you don't care why would you comment?

All preschools should teach kids proper handwashing.
Friend dropped off kid at playgroup last week, and was told that due to corona they have to start washing the kids hands. Why did they not do this before?? Hopefully now everyone will understand the importance of this.

Not a big germ freak, but I would always just breathe onto my fingers the way you'd breathe onto your glasses to clean them. Works fine, and no germs need to enter your mouth.
Memories last forever, make them while you can.

I thought in chabad it's actually based on halacha, therefor they won't bruk even on Achron shel pessach, vs. other chassidim.

Im a little nervous that people will get accustomed to not arguing with @CountValentine
May you slide down the banister of happiness & get many splinters of success up your career.

We make a point of getting matzah wet on acharon shel Pesach, but my comment had nothing to do with that minhag itself.

Definitely agree about weddings. Doesn't need to be extremely small like it is right now with 10 people, but limiting it to 50-100 people is an excellent idea that should stick permanently.

Your personal Tehilim not as bad as money circulated in who know's hands.

Recent wedding I went to was 400+ with just family, ka"h. Opulence and extravagance don't always correlate to number of guests.

Considering booking flights directly with the airline as opposed to OTA’s. Much better CS.

This is not something that I think will stick around, but with supply disruptions I would imagine some Pesach chumros/hiddurim might be suspended.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

For example?

For example?
I don't know if I'll be able to get the home made wine I use delivered (though I might be able to get from my neighbor).

Not sure if sufficient chicken will be available from Shechita I use.

Might need to cut down on napkins/paper towels. 

I don't know what else. Those are just a few things that come to mind.
