Life Changing

The entertainment industry is one of many current casualties of the pandemic. And the aftermath for one industry will likely affect others. Like the ice-cream shop and the nice restaurants by the movie theater than was forced to shutter. Like people growing weary of the empty shelves where there once used to be toilet paper may migrate en-masse to bidets. The rapid disappearance of toilet paper upon school closure and directives to work from home highlighted people's toilet habits. 

A majority must be doing their business out side home and that explains the panic buying. Schools and places of work have likely been subsidizing the collective cost of society going to the toilet. Maybe the presence of bidets at home will create a dis-incentive to use free toilet paper provided by work and school. Maybe the overall experience of being cleaned by water will feel better and we may end up saving some trees in the process. Will this experience turn us to germophobes? Will we continue to wipe, scrub and clean from fear of the dread virus or will be relax back into our old habits? The length and the intensity of the episode will determine what changes stick and what does not.
