Covid and Quarantine Benefits

    After the coronavirus outbreak was declared an outbreak, the United States started to close down. Citizens around the country were confined to their homes and only advised to leave for necessities. Many people had to work from home, schools had to go online, and many businesses had to close down. The closure of the country had many negative effects on the country and the people. The country is suffering from a massive economic downturn and the people were going insane. Although this chaos caused a lot of problems it did have some benefits.

    First of all the pollution level in highly populated cities had dropped significantly. This is the result of fewer cars on the road due to the fact people could not go out. This occurred around the world and many people could see cities clearly with much smog. Reduced traffic also allowed for fewer traffic jams which significantly helped air quality.

    Another benefit of quarantine was an increase in free time. This allowed people to get interested in hobbies and have more time for other activities that would not be possible without quarantine. personally, I have had extra time to practice my instruments and improve significantly, as well as get into the world of building model cars. Others focused their free time on therapy and other forms of mental health practices like meditating.

    What have been some benefits of quarantine for you? What has been more difficult to do? By the looks of things, quarantine may last a lot longer and this can result in many changes good and bad for the country as well as the world.
