I think the attitude to packed places for older people may well change; the number of times I have thought that I am likely to get a cold after a visit to the pub where one of our group was obviously affected, and I did get a cold, just seemed a hazard of going out.
People who were not well with cold or worse but carried on going to work were seen as troopers.

I think this will change, and there will be a good deal more concern about someone coughing, sneezing and spluttering in a place where others are affected.
