There is a lot of bad in this pandemic. A lot. Perhaps you mostly put that on how seriously people take it.
However, there is some good. In Omaha, I only see the focus we've had on local businesses on Small Business Saturday, the day after Black Friday.
The lows the stock market has hit are making for great but in prices.
Looking at this https://twitter.com/pattrn/status/1242556796482375680?s=19 , there is less smog out there.
People are finding ways to work from home.
Why not take at least that last one and build on it?
Make one month a year a work from home month? We clearly can.
Could put it in the winter so people aren't slip sliding. Could put it in the Spring or Fall so people aren't taking summer vacation during this. Could have it attached to the beginning or end of Summer to finish or start the school year.
My only point is that as bad as things seem, there are ways to flip it to some kind of positive both short and long term.
