There could be an added appreciation for the time we now save not having to commute to our workplaces. Some people are enjoying the extra time to learn and apply new home skills like cooking and gardening. The environment is also improving due to less air pollution from traffic. Hopefully, this will lead to added efforts to reduce the amount of non-essential travel and changes to work schedules that can include more days at home and less time at the office.

The advantage is that have enough time and I am able to concentrate on writing and learning things i could not learn. The disadvantage is that i am physically inactive: this may make me gain weight.
I think there is a positive thing with this situation to get some time to do what you can't do it with normal time, but when that gets along, staying at home all this time makes a lot of negative things happen.
