Man is a social animal and will return to old patterns of living, working and travelling

I (begrudgingly at times) mostly agree with Churchill.

It’s my contention that at least 85% of us will go back to living, working and travelling/commuting in at least 85% of the way(s) we did before these lockdowns.

Why? Because man is a ‘social animal’!

Don’t believe me?

Then just, look at the world-wide flocking to Sunday-markets (as observed over four decades of world-travel)!
