Good news about the virus

[squern]

Fed up with the bad news everywhere.
So I've decided to list all the positive things I can think of that this virus/lockdown has caused:
My local TV news reports that shoplifters and drug dealers are having a lean time of it, so that's two things.

3. Burglars are unlikely to find empty houses, so burglaries should drop.
4. Police will not need to scrape drunks off the pavements on Saturday nights.
5. Fewer road accidents.
6. Improved air quality due to lack of traffic.
7. Quiet.
8. Revived community spirit.
9. No news about Brexit

Anybody think of any more - there must be lots.

Maybe we'll be a bit more appreciative of those people who enable things to happen, but who are usually paid badly.
I'm thinking of shop workers, delivery drivers, fruit pickers, child-minders, and so on. Our society tends to look down on "menial" jobs.
Perhaps now we will begin to value them properly.
