2. That's one unseen silver lining I've wondered about.

With driving reduced, hopefully the Earth is taking a deep breath.

I wonder, after all this is done, if one of the global warming initiatives could be to literally schedule a yearly 2 or 4-week "staycation" where nobody commutes to work and everyone stays home, no sports, no gatherings, etc. People get time home with their families.

If it were planned well so people could stock up, it could be a good time for roadwork, planting trees, gardening.

Maybe too complicated.
