With an R of ~1.4, that will slow it down, maybe even stop it in many areas. Ppl will be less sick and die less. The virus will mutate more slowly.
2. But more aggressive

4. Pandemic Mgmt Laws will appear
The same way as SK was ready for the pandemic because of the MERS epidemic 5 years ago

13. White-collar workers will be less competitive in high-income areas. Unless they have a unique skillset, they will be replaced by high-skilled workers in poorer areas

15. Business travel will go down. It might take time for it to go back up again, if ever

21. Everybody will become an investor, whether that's through apps like Robinhood or Coinbase, through NFTs, or other ways we haven't thought about. The best (or luckiest) ones will live their entire lives off of good bets.
What else?
