You are a very optimistic person.

I'd be happy if people just washed their hands more.

That's not a positive as it will cause a baby boom. Nothing positive is coming out this mess.

This reminds me more is more and much hedonism can be had outside the house.

I'd say people washing their hands, but let's face it way too many people are acting like that's a completely new and novel concept now.

I give it a week tops after this is all over for a large chunk who weren't already doing so to backslide on that one.

Maybe they'll at least stop smearing their feceis on bathroom stall walls, but I sadly doubt even that....

They're making more!? What the hell is wrong with them? Oh. Right. They're human.

Well, I suppose real estate prices are likely to go down.

Prices go up when demand is high and a pregnant partner is immediate demand for bigger housing.

I feel like it's kind of optimistic to think that this is going to change anything in the long run.

I've lived through a number of dramatic, "world-changing" milestones in the span of my life, where in the moment everyone was like "nothing will ever be the same again", and in very short order, literally everything was more or less exactly the same again.

Humans have a near-infinite capacity to ignore whatever lessons we should be learning from tragedies.

I'm hoping it will lead to a permanent expansion of online ordering, curbside pickup, and delivery from grocery stores and warehouse clubs. I love Costco, but I wish I could just order more things in the store and have them delivered.

The virus could have taken a full 10%...and lets assume magically during this time period not a single couple made babies.

We'd still have a massive surplus of people on this earth and the human race would ultimately continue just fine.

I don't have to drive 100+ miles everyday for my commute. That means my risk of dying in a traffic accident significantly plummets.

It also means I'm saving tons of money on gas

Insurance is giving a 20% deduction this month. Only 20% though...

Earth is overpopulated at the moment. The US itself can only sustain about 200 or so million people tops.
