What will a post-coronavirus world be like?

We don’t know when exactly that will happen, but it’s nice to daydream about leaving the house and interacting with people again, while we’re stuck at home doing the complete opposite.

For now, this period of social distancing is forcing everyone to look back on the good ol’ days and appreciate the things they took for granted. What do people miss? What do they wish they had?

VICE asked people to share the first thing they’ll do once the global nightmare is over. Some things are simple, some are deep, and some just hilarious, but all of them equally valid. Here they are in six words or less.

“Go hook up with someone.”
