Much is written about how CV19 will change “_____” forever (#5 in this issue, for example). Recency bias could be playing a role. If we rewind 100 years, the 1918 flu pandemic killed 50 million people and 1/3 of the world population and lasted until the summer of 1919. What came afterward was the Roaring Twenties, a period in which tourism, hospitality, travel, cinemas, restaurants, leisure and urbanization gained an enormous boost. I’m not suggesting that we will have a Roaring Twenties 100 years later. Recovery post CV19 will take time, but it will come, and it’s likely that “_____” will not have changed forever.
