Shame you werent on the Amudim Live tonight. Spoke about this exact topic. Do you remember September 10? Forget about back to normal. Its never going to be whatever normal you remember it to be. Accept the best normal that will materialize out of it.

Sorry I was a little kid back then. I don't have that many memories from pre9-11, that would have been different post9-11.

I think that by now you should all realize that the correct answer is: I have no clue. It’s up to HaShem. Enough with us mortals thinking we know/predict the world. HaShem is in charge end of story.

At least add to the poll
Option 1: HaKol MiShamayim

I wrote guess for a reason. I don't expect anyone to even think they know. This is just a total guess!

I think businesses will start to reopen by end of May, at first cautiously with limited hours, but then gradually get back to normal.

If the stimulus works as intended, the economical damage should be significantly mitigated, as many business would be able to rehire all or most of their employees whom were thrown a safety net. There will still be severe economical casualties. Might take a decade to get back to where we were.

There are factors at play that can affect the outcome. There may be a huge demand to bring manufacturing back home, which would crush China and restore our economy, or China might actually gain in dominance over manufacturing. Hard to say at this point.

@zale why would there be a change to Chinese manufacturing? Do you know the cost difference between making in China Vs USA?

US and other countries won’t stand for their garbage any more, will feel the need to control the supply chain, and will need jobs

You know iPhones are made in China right??
Highly doubt this will ever happen. They make everything. I mean everything.

Do you understand the economics of how they manufacture things so cheaply?

When the rest of the world stands up to them, the price discrepancy won’t be so large. Tax shelters and subsidies can help bring jobs back to America as well.

#1 We hope and we pray that Moshiach should come.

If he unfortunately does not...

Then Bezras Hashem things will go back to normal. Many will all have suffered losses, but we will prevail.

There are many other countries in the world that manufacturer outside of China...

I know first-hand of ppl that the Trump vs China 2 year trade rollercoaster made them relocate to other countries. ( And they didn't have issues when China shutdown )

If I remember correctly, they have been looking to move partial manufacturing to other places for a while

What’s considered “normal”? There will be a long period of time between going back to work and when this thing is finally over.

Lurker · « **Reply #16 on:** March 31, 2020, 09:13:31 AM »

I've actually been thinking about this a lot over the last 2 weeks. What does my world look like when this is over? How much changes, both in the way the world itself operates and in the way I approach life? Do I rethink some choices I've already made? Where I live, how I live, what I want, what I think I need? Is my career path what I really want to be doing? Does it provide short or long term stability is this new world? Is it even still viable in our new economy? How do I want to interact with my community going forward? How involved do I want to be? Do I respect them more or less for their reaction and response to this crises? What about my friends? Who was there for me and my family? Who took this seriously and who put others at risk? How much do I trust my government to look out for me and protect me the next time a crisis hits? Do I need to find other ways to get informed on what is going on in the world? These, and a million other questions.... I only have partial answers, and even those may change before this is over.

In no particular order: shuls, schools, yeshivos, businesses, shopping, chasunos, walking outside are "regular" again

9/11 gave us the TSA and a general awareness of suspicious activity. Plus many lives lost and trillions spent in Afghanistan/Iraq.

What will Covid19 give us after we defeat it? Or are you not expecting to defeat it?

Awareness about the benefits of vaccines and real medicine.
