The POSITIVE Impacts That Could Come From Covid-19!

what positive impacts do you think will come from covered 19 organizations with abysmally slow internet connections that have not been updated in decades will do so in order to support video conferencing best answer i've seen so far it is nice seeing a set of files that had to be done before lunch so that the upload would be finished by closing time now being uploaded in 15 seconds my father has pulmonary fibrosis which is going to kill him in the next year or so it's a hereditary disease which has affected three generations of our family in a row you die from increased scarring of the lungs through research into covered there's already a ton more understanding into the reversal of lung scarring and potentially a cure on the horizon i might not die a slow and painful death from this after all they can reverse the scarring where can i read more about this mine got thrashed i'm not sure to be honest mate my dad was telling me i'll see if i can get a link for you i don't think it's happening yet but there's promising testing going on people might finally start washing their hands it's only a temporary bath once the next generation arrives it will be forgotten seen it happen many times i think we need to start science a little bit earlier in school there was a time when people didn't wash their hands at all pandemic or no i think we made some progress before covered a lot more curbside shopping and food options yes i did a curbside pickup for mikey ordered over 1 dollar online friday morning drove an hour to the store on saturday morning waited less than five minutes to be told which stall to park in and they brought it all out loaded myself in five ten minutes and off i went cost me five dollars to avoid going into ikea on a saturday plus if you're shopping alone what do you do if you have two carts of stuff or even one i have to leave it on the loading area and make a dash for the car and hope no one takes anything i'll be using it in the future for sure and hope they do keep it going i wish i had this option my closest ikea pickup for the things i wanted was over an hour away even though the closest store is 20 minutes away i have no idea why as a legally blind person who's been frustrated for years about job prospects and finding something where i don't have to commute covered has been a godsend food delivery is great too the downside is the increased cost of these items factoring in the cost of delivery i guess if i'm not paying for any car ownership expenses it probably balances out back of the envelope i'm still in the black with all of the delivery costs versus what i would if i calculated it against vehicle wear and tear at zero dollars and fifty cents mile and my time at minimum wage there have been a few changes some things just don't work well but on the whole it has saved money we haven't ordered prepared food or been to any restaurant since march jokes on all of you i haven't driven a car in 5.5 almost six years well well well in the black more employers might realize that jobs can be done remotely allowing more flexibility more work from home positions might open up indeed office space is extremely expensive and at this point they'll likely realize how much money they are wasting money that could be going back into the business if there's any positive economic connotations to this cuba it is this and the further rise in tech and this has the side effect positive for most who may want to start a business of lowering commercial real estate costs rents gotta go down more help for people with disabilities online ordering grocery delivery food delivery it's been nice saves me energy when i can make an order for something and do a contactless pickup and they just put it in my car when i drive up not everyone has energy to spare for simple things like groceries or rarans also improvements in telemedicine i'm a therapist that had to switch to teletherapy and after an adjustment period i've grown to enjoy it sure nothing beats the real thing but now my service is available to the entire state and not just whoever is nearby might see more rural folks getting help which is desperately needed i think a lot of people are realizing how terrible some of their relationships have been whether it be with employers spouses family etc and i think a lot of people are just taking a lot less crap from people i also think so many have revisited past hobbies or taken up new ones or truly became reacquainted with feeling at home in their homes i think both these things will result in a lot of people just slowing down and reassessing what or who is worth keeping around in life i know that's certainly been the case for me i also think a large number of people who have experienced working from home will now refuse to make commuting a part of their workday which will eventually lead to a lot of changes to how we work this may eventually lead to changes to housing prices in different areas etc between blm and covet i'm learning how terrible a lot of my family is my blind gf and i are already seeing more video appointments this is something she has wanted since forever since she can't drive now insurance is taking doctor and therapy appointments there are many pickup options for stores at only little or no extra cost this is good for someone who can't handle walking in the store i'm mildly physically handicapped and walking over 10 minutes hurts so this is fantastic for people who are like me and worse there are more delivery options for people who don't drive i can see mask wearing while sick becoming more popular in the states even after this settles down which will help healthy people not get sick as much with colds and help protect the vulnerable who might not handle the everyday cold as well there's more but that's my two cents your blind girlfriend is seeing more covert has been really good to you guys read the first sentence and had to come to the comments to see if anyone else noticed back to the original comment now people with the flu slash cold wearing masks and taking precautions to not infect others seriously pre-covered i can't explain with exasperation the amount of times i've seen people that were clearly sick coughing wheezing and sneezing just carrying on about their lives like it doesn't affect those around them i used to work at a sprint store and a lady brought a sick kid in once the kid threw up all over the floor the lady was like oh yeah we just came from the doctor she's got the stomach flu and then you brought her with you so you could upgrade your cell phone and infect everyone in the store doesn't help that i was fairly pregnant at the time and paranoid about catching stuff i really don't understand some people's choices as a parent who has had a kid throw up in a store i'd never bring my child to a store if i knew they were sick in my case my child was acting fine before we got to the store and complained he wasn't feeling well in the dairy aisle before puking all over the place and all over me hygiene i'm usually sick all the time but i haven't been sick a day since lockdown we've been opened back up for months now with social distancing and extra hygiene measures in place everywhere it's stunning my kids haven't been sick either it's like a miracle who knew people's gross hands and spittle was impacting my life so much that actually explains why i haven't been sick since january i usually get sick around june and september like clockwork but i feel fine in college i will get sick every january like clockwork i haven't gotten sick once since i graduated years ago college classes bars and parties are breeding grounds for germs probably built my immune system up a lot though lol it's a bit of a pipe dream but i'm hoping there will be a newfound respect for those working in the service industry now currently doing restaurant work people still suckle mayo and i've seen some people say well the people who do care are staying home and i find it very hard to believe it's embedded within our culture to look down upon those who make less money than we do and to also see service workers as owing them for paying their wages even though they alike not so yeah i hate to say it but i think it's totally a pipe dream retail chiming in here people still suck the ones who treat us nice did so before the pandemic and the ones who should be held to a higher standard of how they need to treat us are the goddamn employers who during the entire pandemic put profit before our safety and are now hitting us with layoffs and budget cuts because of a few bad months compared to years of insane growth honestly i think and hope it's going to lower barriers to work for people with disabilities offices and buildings are supposed to be at a compliant but that's only a small part of it remote work holds promise and opportunity for a vast pool of talent who have been sidelined because they can't get to the interview or don't get the role because they showed up with braces or a wheelchair it won't reach everyone but i hope it'll reach many more people whose talent has been disregarded about four days before covet hit the us hard i got a dressing down from upper management in my company because i have a chronic illness and a three-hour round-trip commute and my manager had been allowing me to work from home several days a week nobody noticed a dip in my work quality my manager was fine with it everything was great but then upper management got a whiff of an employee taking advantage of the center and suddenly i was getting a reprimand for doing what the entire center has now been doing for seven full months it feels good to be right even if everything else is on fire right now so many people are going to be seeking mental health support in my personal experience i have been suffering with social anxiety and bottling up my feelings i could never bring it up to my doctor because i was so afraid of crying and making a fool of myself now that phone and video doctor sessions are available and encouraged i was able to talk to someone without fear of crying in public i'm now going to therapy and in the process of being diagnosed with anxiety i'm sure there are many stories like mine out there just figured i'd add if anyone needs to hear it that you are never alone it's so hard at first to reach out for help but it is so worth it on a similar note i think a lot of people are having their first experiences with mental illness due to the isolation and fear i'm really hoping that people will be more understanding of others who have depression and anxiety going forward [Music] better hygiene and personal space standards from businesses for their customers at first all of the frantic we do x y and z to ensure your personal health and safety and maintain the highest messaging was so weird and extreme but now it just feels nice and standard things like having more room in restaurants entertainment venues etc very thorough cleaning in general salt and pepper shakers condiments etc being left off the tables and brought out individually by request all nice and clean contactless delivery i've grown very accustomed to these wonderful wonderful things and hope they stick around it's hard to lower a standard once your customers have gotten used to higher ones in my opinion my wife and i are really hoping outdoor dining sticks around here in california we really enjoyed eating outside when we traveled through some of europe and hope it sticks after the virus has passed outdoor dining isn't a thing there i'm surprised given california's rep for sunny warm weather i'm in melbourne australia and most restaurants and cafes esp if they serve breakfast lunch will have an outdoor dining section 1. being socially distanced in supermarkets shops etc i love it i hated it when people got up in my grilling hues and shops so the fact that people have to wear masks and be two meters away from me as the best helps my anxiety a crap ton too i really hope i can continue to work from home it's had its tough moments but overall i much prefer it i'm really sick now i can see my son more around childhood i get more work done if i'm having a bad mental health day i can still work but i don't particularly need to talk to anyone three it's changed my priorities for the better before covered i was meant to get married in august and then start to save for a house and then have another baby then march happened and we decided to delay the wedding then we took a step back and had a serious talk because we were like we are desperate for our own house and another baby why are we blowing 10k plus on a wedding that's a lot bigger than we ever really wanted so we are in the process of using our savings to buy a house and canceling our wedding i don't think we would done any of that if it wasn't for covered for watching my son develop he's honestly changed so much during all of this and he's gone from a little toddler to a child in a matter of months i would've missed a lot of it due to working in the office five days a week but now i've been able to see it all happen i've created memories with him that'll stay with me forever that'll always distract me from how crap the whole covered situation has been [Music] [Laughter] [Music] you
