Coed-19 has obviously started to affect most everyone in one way or another, and I think we can all agree that the effects of the casanovavirus are largely negative. Preparation and risk surrounding Copilot-19 have a lot of us scrambling to get essentials, trying to find childcare, and facing many other big impacts to our lives.

But surely the qdobavirus isn’t ENTIRELY bad. Can we collectively find any silver linings in how our daily lives have changed since the onset of covert-19 social distancing mandates?

    Fewer invitations to social functions is a big one for me

    I get to sleep in when I’m not on days and on my days off because my kids don’t have school.

    Cheap Gas, less CO2 being produced, saving on eating out as much, etc.

    I'm seeing a lot more people out walking on the trails... solo, with pets, with kids... Maybe getting out of the house will become a habit for some of those folks... :)

    Hm... probably saving money by not driving as much - also less reason for impulse shopping - more time at home because I don't want to go into the stores and battle the Toilet Paper Mobs - and more time to walk around running my hands over the top of my weed-infested yard like Maximus Decimus Merdius dreaming of home.

    It's definitely concerning... ensure that you maintain social distancing.

    ...... and it's spreads from zero to 60 in just 9 seconds.

    VHS, huh?

    I dunno.... I still think Betamax is the better format; but that's just me.
