No. I think people will go back to their old ways. They went back to their old ways after the black plague. They went back to their old ways after each of the wars to end wars. People are people. They always go back to their old ways. But hopefully after each cataclysm we become better and better at predicting them and minimising the damage caused by the old ways.

Re: When it’s all over
I'm a bit of a clean freak anyway so that won't change....I've not come across any profiteering but if i do as someone else said here I will certainly boycott those shops.....I might be more aware of emergency rations too and keep a little store....just in case.

Re: When it’s all over
Car sharing will possibly take a knock for a few months before people start trusting each other again.Hygiene always been a clean person because of my immune system,well for the past 20 years that is. Never been a tissue person always need 2 clean hankies every morning and evening.
My stockpiling as always been a joke for my kids and wife but now I have been proven right got cupboards full of all various tinned foods which will come in handy got 2 freezers full of different meats and meals, seeing gaps appearing in the fridges especially the drinks fridge.
Thousands of tea bags and plenty of long life milk , the taste is just like the old days.
Has for will we return to our normal ways I guess the younger generations will, but the people of my age that I know around me were already doing their best for the environment and society and helping their neighbours whenever they could.
My only wish is when this is all over I do hope my grand children stay safe and learning from this experience.
Which I know their parents will be drumming it into them daily.

Re: When it’s all over
I hope that our politicians give a lot of thought to the lack of preparedness shown during this crisis.In readiness for the next time, and I suspect that there will be a next time, we need to be certain that there are enough hospitals, doctors, nurses, masks, etc. to ensure that we don't get massively embarrassing situations such as we've had.
There needs to a a plan, and there needs to be resources which can efficiently carry out that plan.
Bottom line, for me, is that the NHS must get funded and effectively managed.
No ifs No Buts!

Re: When it’s all over
Yes and when its all over it will certainly shine a different light on the illegal immigrant situation.People crossing to our shores in rubber dingy's and the like, without any knowledge of what illness's they might be carrying.
I think more gunboats will be required to make this country feel safe again.
Plus more checks on the Euro tunnel would also be a good idea and at airports.
