Back in the earliest days of the pandemic (March 2020), 6Pages – a new kind of market-intelligence service focused on far-reaching shifts in business & technology – looked ahead and put forward 11 ways in which COVID-19 could be an inflection point that would bring a "new normal."

We will see people flood back into the world, lifting the economy in the near term with a consumer spending boom.
