As a sort of spinoff of the positive only thread, I want to purpose making a thread that encourages thinking up ways we as Aggies can improve industry and society after the shelter in place ends. This would be meant to be not only a positive thread, but also a constructive one in which would allow each of us to express and build on ideas, and at the same time acknowledge the challenge of recovery that's before us (and in some cases allow us to vent any fears we might have).

The ideas can be goofy, fun, serious, imaginary, realistic, short term goal oriented, or long term goal oriented. The only requirement is to list (1) the problem and (2) a solution.

I'll go first with a couple ideas --

SERIOUS

Problem: people are afraid to eat out immediately after Sheltering.

Solution: restaurants make/buy masks and gloves and market cleanliness to consumers.

Problem: people are afraid their shoes are dirty, carrying germs, and are too difficult to clean.

Solution: disposable shoes, or disposable soles on the shoes.

IMAGINARY

Problem: germs float in the air and are a problem for confined spaces like buses, planes, and subways.

Solution: invent a spray on anti-germ atmosphere. A chemical that can be applied like a body spray that's too dense to be penetrated by germs, coming in scented and non-scented.

GOOFY

Problem: people wanting to get internet famous can't lick toilet seats without catching a virus.

Solutions: throwaway toilet seats; tongue germ-X; human cones to prevent licking surfaces; a vaccine to prevent people's dumb actions from going viral

What are some y'all can come up with?
