i think it's here to stay for the
convenience and the value in
ads and i think it's going to be here
long after coronavirus welcome to watch
mojo
and today we're counting down our picks
for the top 10 things we should keep
doing
after the pandemic is over we're not
allowed to shake
engage in small business do your
business there the point is
you gotta squeeze every penny
for this list we're looking at
productive practices people have picked
up during the covet 19 pandemic
even after the pandemic ends these
customs should remain a part of everyday
life
are there any healthy hobbies you've
adopted during the pandemic let us know
in the comments
number 10 supporting local businesses
from restaurants to hairdressers to
boutiques
no local business has been untouched
since the pandemic started
my fear is that these doors won't open
and the people won't come through
in july 2020 a metlife and u.s chamber
of commerce poll found that 58
of small businesses may have to close
forever because of fallout from covet
19.
many consumers went out of their way to
aid local businesses by purchasing gift
cards
sharing positive reviews online and
ordering deliveries when possible
government grants have also helped the
lucky ones eastman received 120
000 in may but that money is about to
run out
the money from ppp expires in two weeks
what are you gonna do
well even before the pandemic hit
starting any business
was a financial risk so if there's a
little spot in town you're passionate
about
support it as long as the doors are open
figuratively speaking or otherwise
engage in small business do your
business there
if you've got a local hardware store go
to the local hardware store don't go to
the big boys the big boys stayed open
during all this stuff
we didn't number nine appreciating
nature
netflix can only make hanging around the
house tolerable for so long
in the past we'd maybe go to the mall to
relieve our boredom
ladies you know what this means
due to the pandemic though a lot of
people chose to avoid crowded public
places
and instead take advantage of the great
outdoors in september 2020
a one-pole survey found that more than
50 percent of americans had developed a
newfound respect for nature since the
pandemic began
people have discovered new hiking trails
taken camping trips and
stopped to literally smell the roses
nature walks are an ideal way for people
to clear their minds
and benefit one's physical and mental
health i think getting out here and
getting some fresh air just gives you a
chance to
get away from it all clear your head and
focus on the things that are around you
instead of things like the news or
the four walls of your house which feel
like they're closing in on me whether
you prefer exploring solo or with a
small group of loved ones
we shouldn't forget about mother nature
guess not number eight working from home
when possible
for many for example those in retail
working at home sadly simply isn't an
option
had the pandemic taken place
pre-internet this would have been the
case for countless others as well
thankfully the web has provided a safety
net for some amazon
google microsoft morgan stanley and
zillow
all extending work from home options for
employees
visa spotify and shopify are letting
people work from home
through at least the end of the year in
a march 2020 study
research firm gartner found that 74
percent of businesses would permanently
move at least five percent of on-site
workers to remote positions
we can see the upside it means saving
money on office space
less time in rush hour traffic and being
able to make spreadsheets in your
pajamas
and if the office ceases to be the
centre of working life
the idea of working sets hours or the
nine to five
will become less meaningful although
working remotely isn't ideal for
everyone
the pandemic has shown us all the
importance of being able to adapt
it's also taught us about the advantages
of zoom and other telecommunication
services
no no no no no no please don't
bring it into the bathroom we can see
you
always i don't know
number seven taking up new hobbies as
the world around us changed
a lot of people adopted new hobbies to
pass the time and forget about their
worries
in some cases these new skills have even
helped us grow as individuals
i actually just like started running
outside i've never done that before but
this gave me the opportunity to do that
instead of ordering takeout every night
people have pursued creative outlets
such as cooking and baking
gardening is not only a relaxing hobby
it'll also leave you with a beautiful
view to look at while munching on
freshly grown fruits and vegetables
because of coba 19 interest in gardening
has really spiked here in the river
valley
i get at least five to six families a
day
coming through here whether it's
learning a musical instrument catching
up on video games
or tie dyeing t-shirts the pandemic has
given us an opportunity to explore our
passions
and even unearth new talents let's all
continue to hone our hobbies
number six keeping up with doctor
appointments
nobody likes going to the doctor
it takes time out of our busy schedules
some of us have to pay out of pocket and
it's so awkward whenever we have to wear
those hospital gowns
there's also of course the anxiety that
the doctor may have bad news
it's a malignant tumor a tumor yes
me yes but it's also crucial to stay on
top of your health
that said we understand the fear of
catching something from another patient
in that waiting room
fortunately the pandemic has introduced
many to the convenience of virtual
doctor visits
an innovation we should all keep in mind
i think it's here to stay for the
convenience and the value in
ads and i think it's going to be here
long after coronavirus
number five staying in touch with loved
ones
chances are you have at least one close
friend or family member who you haven't
seen in person since early 2020
there's a difference between social
distancing and physical distancing
though
if self-quarantining has taught us
anything it's that we can maintain
meaningful relationships while staying
six feet or more apart
people have accomplished this through
watch parties virtual happy hours
and zooming on a regular basis yeah
desperate times make you do
weird things like video happy hours with
all your friends
these are all laid-back activities that
we wouldn't mind making into traditions
of course we do look forward to the day
that we can hang out at a bar or
restaurant without worrying
but whatever you prefer the important
thing is that we're finding new ways to
stay connected
video conferencing is by far the main
way we're staying close
it's connecting generations
i miss you too number four paying
attention to politics
it's easy for some to assume that their
vote doesn't matter because every
politician is the same
so i have solved this little political
dilemma for myself in a very simple way
on election day i stay home
i don't vote as the pandemic dragged on
with no clear end in sight however
more and more people started to take a
newfound interest in politics
a key talking point has been how world
leaders responded to the pandemic
or failed to respond in various cases a
president
who had a brain in his head would have
brought the scientists together and say
look how serious is this right
what do we do what do we do now to be
fair even history's greatest leaders
would have had a difficult time
containing covet 19 completely
by staying informed taking
responsibility and electing the most
qualified individuals to office
the voting public may be able to secure
our world's future
and when i say voting i'm not only
talking about the president
we could vote for mayors we could vote
for
judges and we could also vote for um
da's
district attorneys number three
exercising daily
for those who work 40 plus hours per
week and have a long commute
finding the time to exercise is
understandably difficult
since covet 19 has changed most of our
schedules however
many have finally found the time to work
out it's important to
a keep our stress level down but b also
keep our health up
and keep us strong don't let our muscles
become sedentary since we're staying at
home
we need to keep up our fitness level for
better health when you're cooped up in
the house for most of the day
going for a jog can be as invigorating
as it is healthy
pick a time of day and a route where you
won't likely have close contact with
other exercisers
and keep in mind you definitely don't
want to be directly behind someone for
an extended period of time
if you were a gym regular before self
quarantining there is little doubt that
you found other ways to stay in shape
some broke out their yoga mats while
others put that old treadmill in the
basement to good use
even after the pandemic is over we're
always gonna have stress in our lives
and exercise is a great way to manage it
both the who
and the cdc recommend people stay
indoors but again if you do go outside
to exercise
make sure you practice physical
distancing number two
washing hands and being diligent about
hygiene
[Music]
tonight you in it for a real treat
i'm personally going to prepare the
dinner for you under my audrey
on the one hand we're kind of disturbed
were some people not washing their hands
before this all went down
well it may have taken a pandemic but
more people are taking notice of their
hygiene
as well as customs that most of us
didn't think twice about before for the
longest time
handshakes have been a staple of every
job interview and business deal
given our experiences with covet however
we think it's time to officially retire
this practice in favor of the elbow bump
we're not allowed
you might also want to think twice about
sharing a water bottle with someone
or other once common potentially germy
practices
the handrail on public transit the
change you get when you buy something
thank you it goes on and on before we
unveil our top pick
here are some honorable mentions no more
blowing out birthday candles over the
whole cake
just blow out one candle on an
individual slice
researchers slathered icing on two fake
birthday cakes
had people blow out the candles on one
of them and they found blowing on the
candles
increased the amount of bacteria on that
cake
by fourteen hundred wearing face masks
when sick
it's the considerate and safe thing to
do this gives
two levels of protection first it blocks
droplets that could carry germs from
leaving the mask when someone breathes
out second if any droplets do leave the
person's mask
they are blocked from entering the nose
or mouth of other people by the masks
they are wearing
saving money for a rainy day or a rainy
pandemic
the point is you gotta squeeze every
penny
prioritizing family and friends
sometimes distance can bring people
closer together
guys i don't know if i ever told you
this but where

every day
number one being prepared for the future
this pandemic will end eventually but it
would be foolish to think that kova 19
will magically disappear one day it's
going away now it'll go away like things
go away
absolutely it would be equally
irresponsible to assume that the worst
is behind us
reading about the spanish flu in the
black death in history class most of us
jump to the conclusion that nothing like
that could ever happen in this day and
age
societies have been dealing with
pandemics for as long as we have lived
in cities
and we have learned a lot from that
history for instance we have learned
that many epidemics can be controlled
through isolation and quarantine
while covet 19 hasn't claimed as many
lives as those epidemics
this ordeal has been eye-opening
nonetheless the world wasn't ready for a
pandemic of this magnitude
and while there are no overnight
solutions humanity needs to invest in
the proper precautions going forward
as individuals we can prepare ourselves
by taking everything we've learned from
this pandemic
and applying it to our everyday lives
that human ability to take a much worse
situation
and craft it into the institutions and
and the economic growth and innovation
that we've had between world war ii and
now
i hope uh that this looks like that do
