The Coronavirus has swiftly and dramatically altered daily life in America. An awful lot of wealth has been, at least temporarily, wiped out. People are growing more fearful by the day. However, not everything associated with this crisis is...bad. The answer to the eternal question, is the glass half empty or half full, depends on one’s perspective. To that end, I have compiled a short list of positives associated with this mess. Let’s all count our blessings for a moment:
- We have gone weeks now with practically no news about the Presidential campaigns.
- The U.S. Senate took a vote yesterday on a huge Coronavirus relief package and it passed 90-8. We haven’t seen this level of bi-partisan cooperation since the 100-0 vote to make Mother’s Day a thing.
- Traffic on West Broad Street in Short Pump is finally manageable. But in fairness, that’s because most of the cars are in the drive thru at Chick-fil-A.
- Bernie Sanders can shut down his campaign secure in the knowledge that there are far fewer billionaires in America now than when he started.
- If we get to the point where everyone 70 and older must shelter in place, would the last one leaving the Capital building turn out the lights?
- Sports gambling losses in America have plummeted.
- Hot Yoga classes have been cancelled throughout the Country, raising the cumulative IQ of the nation by ten points.
- The Meme business is booming.
- Gasoline has gotten cheap.
- Peloton owners have become even more smug and obnoxious than normal, proving that literally anything is possible.
- We are all about to discover the truth of our Lord and Savior’s words from the Gospel of Luke that, “A man’s life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions.”
- This will be remembered as the Golden Age of Dogs.
