What percentage of GDP do alliance members allocate to defense spending?
We've never washed our hands as much as we do nowadays, and that's actually great!
We hope this will continue post-pandemic, as it's a proven way to avoid spreading germs and getting sick.
We've had home deliveries for a long time, but demand meant that many businesses that didn't deliver before had to adapt. It's proven useful!
This puts everyone at risk. We truly hope that staying home when ill becomes the norm. Sometimes you can work from home perfectly well while feeling under the weather, so bosses should like this one too.
While this is not ideal for everyone, and indeed not every job can be done remotely, we welcome the option of doing so with open arms.
There are cons, but also lots of pros of working from home, and we wish companies stay flexible enough to allow workers to choose what suits them best.
Mental health is finally getting the attention it deserves. The pandemic brought a global awareness that we hope stays.
The stigma attached to mental health issues is losing its strength and we're accepting that it must be a priority in our lives—at last!
It also made us miss our friends and family, including people we've been out of touch with. Many of us started to make an effort to reach out to those people.
The pandemic—and lockdowns in particular—brought many families together.
This has strengthened ties as we began to really come together as a family. We don't want this to go away.
Owning a pet has numerous benefits. Having an animal as company can be tremendously positive.
Any and every excuse is used to escape to nature, and we hope it continues that way post-pandemic.
Pet adoptions went up during the pandemic, and we couldn't be happier about it. We hope more and more people realize this is the way to go.
Remember how crowded malls and bars would get? Sounds crazy, after what we've been through since the pandemic began, but some places were just ridiculously packed.
We truly hope limits will be put in place in the future. Overcrowding can turn a somewhat enjoyable experience into a very stressful one.
Sure, no one likes to wear masks on a daily basis, but the truth is that they are effective in avoiding spreading and catching viruses and other germs.
You might or might not have caught COVID-19, but if you're reading this, you are alive, and that's just amazing and something to be grateful for!

This is a safe, time-saving, and overall convenient way to do our shopping, and we hope it's here to stay.
Less people at hospitals and other health centers means less exposure to germs and no waiting rooms full of sick people (ourselves included, hopefully). This is definitely something we don't want to change.
While this can't work in every single situation, having an appointment with your doctor without leaving your home is just great.
The pandemic has changed the way we live. It has impacted the way we work, how we entertain ourselves, and our relationships, to name but a few things. Face masks, social distancing, and so much more have become the "new normal." It's also safe to say that we've learned a lot about ourselves during these uncertain times. Indeed, it has been very tough for many of us, but some of the changes that took place in our lives are actually positive, and we hope they're here to stay!
From more flexible work schedules, to more family time, in this gallery we look at the things we're wishing will continue post-pandemic.
