When this is all over do you think shops will keep the shields up at counters for example?
I think seeing people wearing masks and gloves may become the norm.
I also wonder if strangers will try to stick to a distance from each other.
I also wonder if everyone will carry on the thorough hand washing and be more mindful of food waste?

I hope people will keep up a better level of hygeine. How much they do might depend on how long this goes on, if it becomes ingrained, or on how high the risk is still deemed to be when restrictions loosen. If we have 'breaks' from lockdown between expected second or third peaks I think people will still be really careful.

I am going to use this as a reason to always wear disposable gloves on the tube...I have always wanted to but feared the strange looks...I think I will get away with it now.

Not likely, but maybe the shoes-on people will have a rethink

I think masks will become more socially normal. Might be nice if people are considerate and use a mask when they have an infection. Before this you'd be considered an oddball, now maybe not so much.

I think we'll be a bit more mindful of food production and not wasting.

I also hope the value of certain jobs becomes more apparent. I also hope that we take a long hard look at the importance of manufacturing of certain products in our own country rather than being reliant on importing them.

I do hope people are a bit less huggy and kissy again. Never really liked that trend other than with family.
