The article actually mentions this (in a badly-written sentence, I bolded it to make it make more sense):
As a result of the prolonged nature of shelter-in-place rules, new consumer sentiment, behaviors, habits, and values are not only forming, but are also likely to stick. Studies have shown that on average, it takes 66 days for new behaviors to become automatic.
You there, Ephialtes. May you live forever.
