One really positive thing is worldwide pollution is way down!
The other thing is so far, the nerd herd has been spared more so than others. Techies, doctors, scientists, teachers.
Remember years ago, there was a huge argument about the virtues of service jobs not requiring a lot of education, and manual skill labor was in huge demand across the service industry often paying better? Well, many of those service jobs just vaporized because those jobs require human interaction…not something that can be done “working remotely”. Some of these jobs aren’t coming back for awhile.
Imho this will drive more automation and less reliance on humans. High tech will do great , as we now have no choice but to reduce human interaction. So much opportunity.
There is also something to be said about replacing some of the functions ICU nurses have to do with some automation and robotics, and to allow remote management of some medical devices, for example ventilators, to reduce
nurses’ exposure to a deadly virus
