The silver lining here is that this dramatic drop in production and travel is exactly what the environment needed. We're finally giving working from home a serious go. Holidaying within our borders.
I'm sure it'll all look pretty silly in 24 months time, when this recedes into a background seasonal and we finally finish our personal stockpiles of toilet paper, but we might learn important lessons too.

They won’t care that they are laid off, lose their house and the economy spirals in a recession. Silver linings!!
