How will the world change after COVID-19?
What will the world look like post-COVID-19? Who will be the winners and losers? Which sectors will see the most change?
Overview
I am gathering smart investors, operators and others to brainstorm ideas of how the world will change post-COVID-19.
COVID-19 will accelerate some changes that were already happening, and also change the world in completely new ways.
These ideas are focused not on the next 12-24 months of the crisis but on how will things change in 3-5 years and longer.

Remote work / work from home / telecommuting will accelerate
Transportation
Energy
Consumer
Education
Commercial Legacy Energy
People (and more importantly management) are more comfortable working remotely. I do not think full remote work will be the norm, but will be much more common to work several days a week from home or come to the office only to collaborate.
Video, cloud, etc.
Suburbs
Companies selling home office supplies (furniture, decorations, supplies, equipment)
Commercial office and related services. Cities? Oil - reduced demand.
Companies specializing in office wear and accessories.
More people living in suburbs? Bigger home/apt sizes for home office?

Students will reconsider taking on tons of debt for a middle or bottom tier university.
Top universities will be ok as credentialing factories and will broadcast online to others to earn certificates.
Fewer foreign students paying full price to subsidize domestic students.
Online education, vocational training like Lambda for coding.
Kids staying local for college.
Low ranked colleges will go out of business

Poorer people, marginalized groups, racial/ethnic minorities
Does this lead to higher taxation? Bigger govt? Direct transfers, bigger social safety net, universal healthcare?

China - more adversarial relationship
Globalization
Politics/Govt
Trade
Realization that China is not a trustworthy global player. Pullback globally. Wages have already gone up, but sunk costs in factories meant companies couldnt leave. Now will gradually pull back.
Hong Kong will be brought much closer. Maybe Taiwan eventually?
Taiwan, Korea, Vietnam, other Asian allies. Mexico? Domestic manufacturing especially in key industries like semiconductors, etc.
Both economies. War will be financial and informational.
I believe we will see a renewed manufacturing push on all things essential to our country. Especially medical and companies like Apple manufacturing a larger number of their products locally.

There is a counter argument. People will be vacationing in less dense places where there will be more airbnbs than hotels.
Hotels. Counter to hotels - Airbnb will gain from rise of the staycation / workation trend, with more people being able to access the remote work lifestyle
Airbnb
Counter from airbnb - people will travel to more remote locations where there are no hotels.
