It is a well documented phenomena, however flawed or impractical it may be, that humans tend to refuse to change their position on a topic even in the face of overwhelming evidence. An obvious example perhaps could be to look at outlandish conspiracy theorists, who submit claims such as the wor...

The advent of coronavirus—also called by its more scientific designation, COVID-19—has dramatically and perhaps even permanently altered the worldwide landscape for business, economics, and consumerism.
