90% economy, 120% gastronomy: Covid-19 seems to have changed lifestyles for good

Not saying "not true for all values of x", I'm claiming "not worth reading for all values of x", because it's way too soon to make predictions about what will stick and what won't. I could imagine that _something_ will stick, I just don't think the Economist or anyone else is going to be any good at predicting what.

I guess TFA doesn't think there's a constraint on how soon they can offer up some predictions based on google search words.

So your early prediction is that their early predictions are going to be wrong? ; )

Ha! Yes, although technically I'm just saying "frequently wrong", for example maybe half of them, and thus not worth reading.
