Deb Wolfe summarizes the essential facts about pets and Corona Covid 19 and asks Dr. Stanley Coren about the future after the pandemic. Dr. Coren uses research on human behavior and human history to make intelligent predictions about how humans will socialize post pandemic and how long it will take. Deb Wolfe asks; “Will attitudes toward hand shakes, urban density, crowds, and travel change forever? Will there be good effects like less pollution and less stressful lives or will it all go back to the way it was before the pandemic? Will China close its wet markets? And how long will it take for us as a world to recover and move on?”

Dr. Coren states that 28% of North Americans live completely alone, and many of them are either younger or older people. “Will the pandemic isolation make people living alone want to find partners to live with?” 68% live in dense urban settings and in high rises 52% say they don’t know their neighbors names. “Will that change? Will people go back to traveling on planes and cruise ships?” Dr. Coren is able to bring facts together from recent events like SARS and historic events like plagues in our human history and combine that information with human psychology studies to predict how our world will look after Corona.
