Unexpected consequences of Coronavirus

Ok, I'll grant you it's not the best of titles but let's face it there are some benefits to be had from the current crisis and it might help a few people to think positive thoughts as opposed to hearing about  the depressing daily death toll. 

So here are a few to get you going:-

1. Less cars on the road making for more enjoyable local exercise and cycling

2. Less Pollution, due to number 1.

3. Whilst there have been well documented instances of numptiness, there has been an increase in people connecting with their local community, even at a respectful social distance. Plenty of folk out there willing to do shopping for other less able folk and making sure that medicines are collected and delivered.

4. A huge response to requests for volunteers for the NHS and Police etc. Shows what spirit there is around if asked.

5. Less Theft from homes.

6. Divorce lawyers will be getting richer. Oh hang on, scrub that one. It's not positive unless you are related to one.

So please feel free to add to this list with your own positive benefits. I'm sure there are plenty more.

Moderator Comment - I was very uneasy with the use of the word benefit as anyone who has lost someone to Coronavirus I suspect won't see any possible benefit. I have edited the title which reduces the risk of unintended  offence being caused. I am not totally sure the new wording is correct but probably better than before?
