Reply to "Silver Lining of Covid This Fall?"

It’s always possible to see the silver linings in almost any situation... In general I think it is healthy to look at things that way unless such thoughts are purely delusional.

My marriage has grown stronger through this, for instance.  My wife and I have both been working from home since March and have had a lot more meaningful time together because of that...

My kid has been able to sleep in a ton more than if he was in physical school.  Only twice a week now are his online classes are at 8:30 am now.  Teenagers in general don’t get enough sleep...  that’s a silver lining.  I feel for him of course, no Homecoming Dance, no Friday Night Lights with his buddies, no dating etc...it is really really tough.  The fact that he’s getting more sleep and is able to recover better from workouts doesn’t at all outshine those other realities, but it’s still a silver lining...
