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

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
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?

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.
