Do best practices still apply?

I've been thinking about general investing best practices such as:

1. Don't time the market
2. Bonds are low risk and stocks are high risk.
3. Indexes are better than individual stocks.
4. Keep at least 6 months of emergency fund.

Do these and other investing best practices apply given the current environment of:

1. A very high rate of unemployment
2. The Fed printing trillions of dollars and buying assets, inflating the market, and potentially creating monetary inflation.
3. A political landscape that value stock market performance above all other economic indicators.
4. Covid slowing down the economy and adding FUD.

Have you changed your investing strategy to cope with this new world or are you staying the course?
