We have witnessed what did Coronavirus do to humanity from those who died from, to those who got infected and finally the rest who are locked up in their houses. Many people are looking at the dark side of this situation and observing the bad events happening outside. However, I believe most people are turning a blind eye on the bright side as well. Many would ask how would be there any benefit of this tragedy, yes there are many. For instance, everyone wishes just to get back to his normal life and work without complaints or laze, so most of us now value our normal life activities and wish to get back to it. This would make us be thankful to what we have in our hands and get back to work with more passion and enthusiasm. Not only that, because of the quarantines and travel restrictions the earth is blessed with a significant decline in air pollution for the first time for so many years. I don’t know why wouldn’t we take action towards problems we caused to our own environment, and why should we wait for something to happen to spotlight the critical problem. For example, researchers claim that carbon dioxide level has decreased dramatically the past month causing many benefits such as melting of the poles nearly stopped and the disappearance of global warming. We conclude only one thing that we as humans are weak to protect our planet, instead nature itself had to stop us from corrupting Earth by taking serious actions towards us. Furthermore, one of the lesser-known benefits is how people are dealing with mental health now. Most companies nowadays try to know how their employees are coping with this pandemic and are helping out a lot with these mental health situations. Also a decrease in pollution means that nature can grow again and it will not be harmed. In our opinion, a huge benefit of this pandemic is that we will not take anything for granted and that it is important to get out of the house more often and we should seize the opportunities we get in our limited time on earth. We believe that there will be a change in work ethic for everyone and hopefully we can get through this together.
