Positive side of this crisis?

[Strictly Jake]

I know its all really awful. I dont need to go onto the negatives on this thread we already know

But is anyone seeing some positive sides to the crisis?

Despite my kids driving me mad sometimes im getting to spend more time with them, Im getting 12 weeks off work paid, the weather is gorgeous so the isolation is giving us time to enjoy it. I have a baby coming in the next week or so(not great timing to be fair) so I will get to spend extra time with him too

Also it will help us to see how strong we are as individuals and a community, we will get through it and we will have learnt a lot from it

As I say its not good at all but it might help to see some positive sides what are yours?

The crisis has done wonders for the environment, pollution levels are down across the board.

Yes well she is very vulnerable, hope she tucked up safely at home ~ and she stays there for the foreseeable future.

Seeing peoples true nature.

What I mean by that is who are the caring, smart, and just use common sense about the situation. And then there have been the people who have been stupid, and have shown no regard for Human life by ignoring all advice about the Coronavirus, and the latter group are people that I'll never want to associate with once this disease is dealt with as anyone can pretend to be nice when everything appears to be okay.

Great post Mock

Thanks.:blush:

[Cherie]

I hope when it’s all over employers see the benefits of people working from home where possible even if it is just one or two days a week, less strain on transport networks etc

I think there will be a massive reform on capitalism, prioritising social and health services world wide. This is the wake up call

[smudgie]

On a personal level...I get to eat all the kids Easter eggs now.

That hopefully many will realise that money cant buy everything..
And that the NHS can never be allowed to be privatised.

I actually hope this is the end result. We've seen how quickly the most insulated and selfish of people have quickly become desperate when they realised they were actually also now vulnerable, and have called for socialist intervention.

I do however fear, that it will be used as an excuse to pile more auseity back on to the people.

[user104658]

Ironically (considering social distancing) I think it has been amazing for human connection? People have become family/community spirited in ways I haven't really seen in my lifetime.

Its also shown just how quickly we could clean the world up if we were actually serious about it. Whales on migratory routes they haven't used for decades (because of industrial shipping), fish and even dolphins in the Venice canals... It's eye opening.

I saw the stars so clearly last night, it was beautiful!

I've been feeding the foxes out on the street as they will probably starve without the litter bugs dropping food everywhere.
I watch out of window and they share with cats which amazed me !

They can eat all the stale food that will inevitably be left in people's bins.

We have safe food boxes which have to have tied biodegradable bags and the lids lock down so not really.

Yes really. People leave open bin bags spilling onto the street all the time, especially if they have more than will fit in the boxes/wheelie bins. See it all the time.

Not around here. If the lid won't shut on wheelie bin they leave it All cardboard has to be free of any tape and cut small enough to go in the blue lidded bag provided . All plastics in another box then the bottle and cans , its an event getting it out on the correct day.

[Captain.Remy]

Earth is breathing a little bit more, and my Dad and I have never called each other this much. I mean, I love him, but we usually text and stuff. Now it's full phone conversations.

[Beso]

Live reporting from the empty streets of London has become edgy with all the loonies in the background grabbing thier 15 mins of fame.

[Captain.Remy]

One more thing: I hear birds much better than before without all the cars noise and stuff. It's dope!

[Strictly Jake]

See Cherie I already had made a postive thread

[smudgie]

On a very positive note, my daughter and her partner are now seriously contemplating moving back up north, near us.

[Cal.]

OMG same! I ran outside earlier because I thought my dog had gotten hold of a bird and that's why I could hear it squawking but it was just because there was less noise pollution I could hear it from the house! Bloody lovely!

[Livia]

All the villages around me have done leaflet drop to every house, even the outlying ones, with contact numbers in case people need shopping, help... anything. And I love that kids are painting rainbows and sticking them in the window just to make people happy.

So very true !!

It’s astonishing how much the government has accomplished in the last ten days or so .. suddenly money is no object...

Hopefully they will pay nurses what they’re worth when this is all over and give everyone who’s worked on the wards, risking their own and their family’s lives - a huge thank you bonus !!

Just watched out of my window and 3 foxes tonight 1 ran off with the raw egg and 2 ate sausages and dog bickies , they are wicked to sit and watch.

Please everyone leave food for foxes there is nothing on the streets for them now.

[Mystic Mock]

I've been able to have time to do my own personal critical countdown between all of the Entertainment Industries, where I score a product out of 10 and then see where it ranks on my own personal table.

It's bull**** really:laugh: and most of it is made up of Video Games at the moment. But all of the Entertainment stuff is keeping me sane at the moment without being able to see most of my friends & family, plus no Football, and the rest of TIBB also seem to be like me where you can't help but constantly think of this terrible situation. So basically this little game that I've made is helping me at the moment.

Also being entirely honest I love the Entertainment Industry anyway, so this Game is definitely helping enhance that.:joker:

I'll stop waffling on now.:laugh:

Oh and I still also stand by my original post on the this thread too, any bratty teen deliberately coughs in my face and I start going all AJ on them.:fist::devil:

[Kizzy]

Thought I'd seen one... Sorry jake! :/

Be careful how often you feed them, I've done a fair bit if research and if you constantly feed them they will become reliant on you and come waiting by your door every night just try limit it to once a week

[Livia]

My heart goes out to those suffering and those mourning... but I could live like this forever.
