Default Positive side of this crisis?

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.

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.

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

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.

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
