A number of changes in behaviour will appear. For example, an increased use of online shopping for groceries and other essentials; greater use of credit cards; and more people working from home.
There will likely be a change in the political landscape once the dust settles and people realise how neglectful governments have been in preparing for situations like this despite being warned about the risks. Similar reaction to the increased intensity of the recent bushfires.
It will take years to recover from the shock to our economic system. High unemployment will persist for most of this decade, and businesses, those that survive, will take a long time getting back on their feet.
We live in interesting times.
