OK , list the good things that are happening or about to happen with this crisis.



Way less traffic on the roads

Much quieter in my area

Less pollution in large population centers worldwide

Lower gas prices due to lower demand

More family time/bonding

Some time off work for trapping/fishing etc

More home cooked meals

Catching up on projects around the house




What do you have to add or have seen ?

I am still working and getting overtime through the CV crisis

but definitely eating more home made bread, and long cook time meals , today was pulled pork.

not having anything on weekends we are catching up on some projects.

I find myself getting very briefly jealous of other peoples new found free time however then I remember I am working and getting a paycheck and a lot of people would be jealous of that right now.


America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

Lower fuel prices are nice.
A little less traffic. Other than that nothing has change for us.

Good things... maybe people will realize how fragile our system is and become more prepared and live within their means. Maybe even save a little money.

Maybe some on the left discover the pieces of mind being armed and the Joy's of recreational shooting and become pro gun.

I hope it brings attention to our need to produce critical items in the USA not somewhere that will try to use it against us.

Seems like it's turned the clock back about 50 years...in a good way. How if this internet would go down, we'd really be in business (and I'd get even more accomplished).

I kind of hope it last the entire summer, personally.

I do feel for those out of work, however.

Traffic is horrible for me. But it's better than it was. No school buses. Increased gratitude for tp and hand sanitizer.


wanna be goat farmer.

Ain’t no Pelosi, Schiff, or Nadler on the TV every time it’s turned on. Still too much Schumer though.

One mention of those wack jobs is one too many. Exactly why there is no TV in my house!

I am still working and it hasn't decreased the amount of traffic in my neck of the woods.
