I hope it will make me more grateful for the simple pleasures -- e.g. drinking coffee at a coffee shop without being scared. And more inclined to get out of my house and spend time with others.

At the very least, it will have these effects in the short term. When the pandemic lifts, it seems like a particularly good opportunity to meet people, to try something new. A lot of people will be in a good mood.

Hopefully I'll succeed in making something of the opportunity.
