 Given the global Covid-19 pandemic has changed economic history from large gatherings of people at schools, concerts, religious services, conventions and travel, vacations and friends will require the creation of alternative ways to be together. Virtual and digital are not in person meetings so concerts, plays, city councils holding meetings, going to movie theaters as well as swimming in pools and oceans as well as parks and offices need to be at a distance (6 feet or more and masks).

The world has changed – where will it go next? Circular Economics
