Some things may not survive the pandemic.
I’ve been thinking a lot about what the coming fall and winter will be like. Will a second wave mean seeing friends and family even less than we do now? Will we be opening presents on Christmas morning over Zoom? My colleague David Leonhardt has also been thinking about the future, but he’s looking even farther ahead. What will 2022 look like?

None of us knows what the future holds, but David’s article lets us in on what the experts are predicting. — Shannon Busta |
