My wife and I were just talking about this. Self-distancing is going to become the norm
for many. Especially us older folk.
Yes. And hopefully, also the use o masks. Here in Thailand (and other Asian countries) many people has been using masks since long time ago (probably after the H1N1 ans SARS outbreaks) at the minimum sign of getting a cold. Even when they are healthy and they go to the public transportation or a crowded place.
The use of masks has been stigmatized in many western countries. Asian people wearing masks has been insulted and even beaten. Let's hope that this will change now.
At this poster at a Chinese grocery store in Madrid (end of February) the owners are apologizing for using masks. It explains that they wear them to protect all the population, because one can be contagious even without symptoms. They put that poster to avoid scaring the customers when they see the Chinese staff wearing masks.
For those that can read Spanish, this article is interesting because it explains how the Chinese population in Madrid was upset when Spanish people was not taking the warnings about coronavirus seriously.
