Shift from Passive to Active?

Maybe this will start an interesting discussion. For the past decade or so, we have heard about the shift of flow from active to passive due to the low vol and "grind up" market we've had. However, given last falls brief correction, and the coronavirus pandemic we are experiencing now, it would be interesting to hear from someone who works in this space on what kind of flows we've seen (besides out of the market lol).

My 2c for what they're worth: Without any data, and at risk of pure conjecture, I would assume that the flow of funds will shift back to active, maybe not toward the peak of active management, but at least balance out a bit more from what has seemed like "the death of active" over the past few years. With the inefficiencies we have seen in this fear-driven market in recent days, it will be interesting to observe where the money flows, and how those funds perform.
