My feed is full of people talking about great it is to work from home and not have to worry about commuting. Others are talking about how schooling for kids is old fashioned and keeping them at home and e-learning is technologically advanced

its one thing to go through a bad situation, another to see so many people praise the current measures as if they are hoping it becomes permanent

I can imagine so many governments would be so happy to never worry about elections ever again.
Welcome to the Brave New World.
